Yield Serves 18-22

Number Of Ingredients 21

Cake:
2 cups granulated sugar
¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
3 large eggs, room temperature
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup sour cream, room temperature
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon strawberry extract
3-4 drops red food coloring (optional)
Coconut Frosting:
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup heavy cream, cold
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
Pinch salt
¾ cup sweetened coconut flakes, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the cake:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Liberally prepare 3 9-inch round pans with the nonstick method of your choice.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, cream together the granulated sugar and butter on medium-high speed until nice and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the strawberries in your food processor and purée until smooth. Set aside.
  • With your stand mixer running, add the eggs 1 at a time, combining well after each addition and scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • Change your mixer speed to medium-low and add the strawberry purée slowly into the batter. Continue mixing while you tend to the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add ½ of the flour mixture to your stand mixer bowl. Continue to mix on low speed to combine.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and oil and add to your stand mixer bowl.
  • Pour in the remaining flour mixture and continue to mix on low until well incorporated. Add the vanilla extract, strawberry extract, and food coloring, if using. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Evenly pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 23 to 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a layer comes out clean.
  • Let the layers cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto wire racks. Let cool to room temperature. Lightly cover the layers with foil or plastic wrap so they do not dry out.
  • For the frosting:
  • Clean your stand mixer bowl and whisk attachment. Beat the cream cheese on high speed until it begins to thicken and become fluffy.
  • Turn your mixer down to low speed and carefully add the confectioners' sugar. Once the sugar is fully incorporated, turn your mixer speed back to high and continue whipping.
  • Add the heavy cream; vanilla extract; coconut extract, if using; and salt and continue to mix until a smooth, light, and fluffy frosting is achieved.
  • To assemble:
  • Once the layers are completely cooled, place 1 layer on a serving plate. Spread just the top of the layer with ⅓ of the frosting. Add the second layer and spread with another ⅓ of the frosting. Add the final layer, bottom-side up, and spread with the remaining frosting. Frost the top and the side of the cake. Gently pat the side and the top of the cake with coconut flakes. Serve at room temperature.

STRAWBERRY-COCONUT ICE CREAM CAKE



Strawberry-Coconut Ice Cream Cake image

This is an impressive dessert that's not at all difficult to prepare and doesn't require an ice cream maker. For the best flavor, use sweet, ripe farm stand berries: They should really smell like strawberries. The whipped cream and a touch of vodka help keep the mixture from forming ice crystals - up to a point. You'll still want to make this cake the day before you plan to serve it, since its texture is best in the first 24 hours and it can take up to six hours to freeze.

Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 quarts/about 1 kilogram strawberries, preferably small, pretty ones
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar, plus 3 tablespoons for sauce
1 cup/240 milliliters coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon vodka
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
1 cup/85 grams toasted coconut flakes, for garnish (see Note)
Basil or mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Briefly rinse berries with cold water, then lay them out on a clean tea towel. Hull berries, except for a dozen or so pretty ones. Set those aside for garnish.
  • Put 1 pound hulled berries in a blender or food processor. Reserve the rest for sauce and garnish. Add 3/4 cup sugar, coconut milk, salt and vodka. Blend until smooth. You should have about 4 cups.
  • In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff. With a rubber spatula, gradually fold strawberry purée into whipped cream, 1/2 cup at a time, until well incorporated. It's OK if a few swirls remain.
  • Pour into an 8-inch springform pan about 3 inches deep or into a similar-size Pyrex pie pan or ceramic dish. Freeze for 4 to 6 hours, until quite firm. (Test with a skewer or paring knife, going all the way to the bottom of the pan. It should come out clean.)
  • Make the strawberry sauce: Put remaining berries in a blender with 3 tablespoons sugar. Purée and transfer to a pitcher or serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
  • If using springform pan, unmold frozen cake and transfer to a cake plate. (Serve directly from glass or ceramic pan.) Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes, and garnish with reserved berries dipped in a little of the sauce, and basil or mint leaves. Keep at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. To serve, cut into wedges and drizzle with strawberry sauce.
