Betty’s Elegant and Dramatic Strawberry Cream Cake Recipe
Posted by admin on Friday Mar 12, 2010 Under Cake Recipes
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make an Elegant and Dramatic Strawberry Cream Cake. It is lighter on the calories than most cakes, plus it is beautiful, and it tastes superb! Ingredients: 1 angel food cake (I purchased mine from the deli section of my supermarket. You may make a homemade angel food cake, if you prefer.) 2 cups fresh strawberries, washed and sliced 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened to room temperature 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk 1/3 cup lemon juice 1 teaspoon almond extract 8 oz. carton frozen whipped topping, thawed (I used about ½ of the carton.) additional sliced strawberries for garnish (optional) Remove the angel food cake from its container, and invert it onto a cake stand or cake plate. Cut a ¾-inch slice horizontally from the top of the cake and set it aside, remembering the orientation (for placing it back on top later). Now, cut about ½-inch from the center hole and ½-inch from the outer edge of the cake with a sharp knife, hollowing out a channel between the inner and outer edges of the cake. Carefully cut and pull cake pieces out with your fingers, leaving about ½-inch layer of cake on the bottom. Reserve the removed cake pieces. Beat 8 oz. cream cheese with a mixer, until light and fluffy. Add 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk, 1/3 cup lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Beat well, until smooth and combined. Fold in reserved cake pieces and 2 cups sliced strawberries. Spoon into channel formed by removing cake pieces …

No, it must be completely cool. I just used a pre-baked cake, but if yours are cooked, then logisitcally, could cool some cake, remove cake from pan, then freeze. If it is still a little warm, do not affect the results .- Betty:)

You can use a knife (or similar) and move quickly into a spin. Do not try to spread a motion – That you only seem to spread butter on toast. Make big sweeping movements, and get nice designs! Thanks for your question! (In fact demonstrated in the Banoffee pie.) – Betty:)

How to make a pretty design on the cake w / whipped cream?
March 12th, 2010 at 11:59 pm
You can use regular mousse or cause the kind that is free of fat or the type that is low in sugar or whatever form “light”. Any of them works well. The ordinary runs the best, but they all taste pretty much the same – all are sweet, but not too sweet. Hope this helps! – Betty:)

I wonder if whipped cream is a light complement? or is it really sweet? btw the cake looks yummy:]
