Strawberry Magic Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square metal baking pan with a 12-by-8-inch piece of parchment paper leaving an overhang on 2 sides.
• Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in the microwave, about 1 minute. Brush the parchment paper with some of the melted butter, then flip it over and press it back in the pan. Brush the other side of the paper and the sides of the pan with butter.
• Whisk the egg yolks and sugar vigorously in a large bowl until pale, creamy and thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the remaining melted butter and whisk until incorporated. Add the salt and all but 2 tablespoons of the flour, mixing until completely combined.
• Heat the milk in a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup in the microwave until warm, about 1 minute. Slowly add the milk and vanilla to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly until well combined (the batter will be thin). Toss the berries with the reserved 2 tablespoons flour and gently stir into the mixture.
• Beat the egg whites and the cream of tartar in a clean bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed in until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Scrape the whites into the yolk mixture, gently breaking them up a little with a whisk. Using a whisk, gently stir and fold the mixture a few times to coat the whites with liquid while keeping as much volume as possible (the batter will not be homogeneous). Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
• Bake until the top is browned and puffed and the cake is mostly set with a slight jiggle in the center, about 1 hour. Let the cake cool completely in the pan, about 2 hours.
• To serve, dust the top of the cake with confectioners' sugar. Run a small offset spatula or thin knife around the edges of the pan to loosen. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cake from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Cut the cake into 9 squares and serve topped with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Prepare the cake according to the directions on the box and pour it into the prepared pan. Set aside.
• Combine the ricotta, sugar, vanilla, eggs and 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of the mascarpone in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Gently scoop the filling onto the cake batter and cover it completely.
• Bake until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean and the strawberry layer has risen to the top, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
• Combine the remaining 12 ounces mascarpone with the pudding mix and milk in a clean bowl in the stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on low speed until incorporated. Increase the speed to medium and beat until smooth and creamy. Spread the frosting evenly over the cake. Serve.

Steps:

• Place cake on serving plate. Cut 3/4-inch-thick horizontal slice from top of cake; set aside. With small knife, cut 1-inch-wide and 1-inch-deep tunnel inside center of cake, being careful to not cut through to bottom or sides of cake. Remove and save cutout for snacking or other use.
• Add boiling water to gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough cold water to ice to measure 3/4 cup; stir into gelatin until ice is completely melted. Remove 1/2 cup gelatin; place in separate medium bowl. Add COOL WHIP; whisk until blended. Refrigerate 10 to 15 min. or until thick enough to spread. Meanwhile, refrigerate remaining plain gelatin 5 to 10 min. or until thickened.
• Stir 3/4 cup strawberries into thickened plain gelatin; spoon into tunnel of cake. Replace top of cake. Frost cake with COOL WHIP mixture. Garnish with remaining strawberries before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch baking dish.
• Beat egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer until stiff.
• Combine egg yolks and white sugar in another large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add butter and vanilla extract; beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Fold in flour. Beat in milk slowly. Fold egg whites gently into the batter.
• Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden, 45 to 70 minutes. Let cool, about 30 minutes. Dust top with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Prepare cake mix according to box directions.
• Spread the marshmallows evenly over the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan.
• Spread the prepared cake mix over the marshmallows.
• Sprinkle the Jell-O powder over all.
• Spoon berries here & there over the Jell-O.
• Drizzle the water over all. DO NOT STIR!
• Bake in preheated oven for about 55 minutes at 350°F
• Allow to cool & serve with Cool Whip.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8 X 8 inch glass baking dish.
• Place egg whites in a medium bowl. Whisk to stiff peaks with an electric hand mixer. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar until light, about 1-2 minutes. Add butter and vanilla extract and keep beating for another minute or two . Add flour and mix until fully incorporated.
• Slowly start adding the milk and beat until everything is well mixed ( can do with a regular whisk). Add the egg whites, a third at a time and fold them in using a spatula. Repeat until all egg whites are folded inches It is ok to have a bunch of white clumps.
• Pour batter into greased baking dish and bake for 50-70 minutes or until top is light golden brown and cake is only a little jiggly.
• Dust with confectioner's sugar after it has cooled. Serve with strawberries if desired.

Steps:

• First, let the strawberries and Cool Whip rest on the counter. The strawberries will mix with the Jell-o better if they're not rock hard, and the Cool Whip will incorporate better if it's a little soft.
• Slice the angel food cake into 1/2 to 1-inch pieces using a serrated knife, and spread half of the angel food cake pieces on the bottom of the 9×13 inch dish. (Or a fun glass dish like a trifle bowl.)
• Bring two cups of water to a boil. In a large mixing bowl, combine the water and Jell-o powder. Stir until fully combined.
• Then, add the frozen strawberries and stir, breaking up the chunks until they have melted. Fold the Cool Whip a few dollops at a time into the strawberry mixture, stirring gently to combine without deflating the dessert. Again, you can leave it a little less than uniformly combined, but you want it well-mixed.
• Spread half the mixture over the cake. Add the remaining cake, then cover with the remaining mix. Spread to ensure the cake is fully covered.
• Alternatively, you can combine all the cake and mix in a large bowl. You may prefer this method if you're serving the dessert in a trifle or glass bowl.
• Chill in the fridge four hours or overnight. If the cake feels wet or jiggles, it's not set.
• To glam it up, you can cover the chilled cake with Cool Whip, or garnish or decorate the top with sliced strawberries.
