STRAWBERRY JELLY CAKE



Strawberry Jelly Cake image

This layer cake is affectionately referred to as "Grandma's Cake" by many Southerners. Using jelly as the filling and the frosting is a wonderful way to add fruity flavor to a cake year-round. The jelly seeps into the cake, so there's no need to brush on a simple syrup to keep it moist. This recipe uses cake flour, which has less protein than all-purpose flour and yields a more tender crumb. But it can be prone to clumping. Sift it into the mixing bowl, or use a whisk to aerate it and break up any lumps. "Frost" the sides of the cake with jelly or buttercream, or just let it drip down the sides. When making this cake in the summer, you can top it with sliced fresh strawberries.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick baking spray
3 cups/385 grams cake flour, plus more for flouring the pan
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
2 cups/400 grams granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup/240 milliliters whole milk (or nondairy milk)
2 cups/480 grams strawberry jelly
1 cup/165 grams sliced fresh strawberries

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Using baking spray, grease and flour 3 (8- or 9-inch) cake pans.
  • Sift the 3 cups cake flour and the baking powder into a medium bowl. Add the salt and stir to combine.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or a large bowl using an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar. Beat on medium until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low, and alternate adding the flour mixture and milk, one third at a time, until both are fully incorporated.
  • Scrape down the mixer attachments, and the sides and bottom of the bowl. Beat just until the batter comes together. (Don't overmix.) Pour the batter evenly into the cake pans.
  • Bake until the cake is browned on top, and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and place the cake pans on a wire rack. Let the cakes cool in the pans completely, about 30 minutes, before inverting onto the rack.
  • Once the cake layers are cool, add the strawberry jelly to a small bowl and microwave in 10-second intervals, just until the jelly becomes spreadable.
  • To assemble, place a layer of cake on the serving dish, then spread ½ cup of jelly on top. Repeat with the remaining two layers, adding more jelly on top to drizzle down the cake. Top with fresh, sliced strawberries.

STRAWBERRY COCONUT JELLY CAKE



Strawberry Coconut Jelly Cake image

This cake is MY INTREPETATION OF THE REX JELLY CAKE that Mama always made when I was a kid. She always had shredded coconut all over it. It was a cake that was popular in my day. Mama always made this during Christmas, & when ever we had Pot Luck Dinner @ the Church. Rex jelly is no longer available, or if it is it is in LIMITED...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 stick butter, softened
1 c sour cream, room temperature
6 large eggs, room temperature
3 c white lily all purpose flour + 6 tablespoons
`1 Tbsp almond extract + 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
3 c granulated sugar
STRAWBERRY APPLE JELLY FROSTING
2 jar(s) 12 oz. smucker's apple jelly
1 jar(s) 18 oz. apple jelly
2 box 3 oz. strawberry gelatin (dry)
2 jar(s) 8 oz. strawberry jelly
1 c powdered sugar
1 pkg sweetened shredded coconut about 3 cups or more if desired
garnish fresh strawberries quartered (optional) & green candies for added color if desired
1 Tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. PLEASE NOTE: My brother Curtis told me that the reason Rex Jelly was so popular when we were growing up, was because it was the cheapest you could buy at the time, and with a household of 13, I do understand why mama use it as a frosting to frost many of her cakes. We were well below the poverty level, & it was an inexpensive way to have an economical dessert. It really TASTED GREAT TO US, WE LOVED IT. If YOU ARE NOT USING the White Lily All purpose flour, please omit the additional 6 tablespoons of flour.
  • 2. Because I created this frosting before leaving for the 650 mile trip in ARKANSAS, & wanted to make sure I had enough frosting. I made more than I anticipated I would need, so you may want to cut back on the quantity that you use. I did have some left over after frosting the 3 layer 9X9 size SQUARE CAKES.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. I used 3 pans like this, but you may use round or even a Bundt pan but the baking time will be about 1 1/2 hours for the bundt pan @ 325 Degrees F., and 38-42 minutes for the 9 inch square pans, do check after about 32 minutes.
  • 4. Cream Butter and sour cream with sugar in a mixing bowl until light and creamy about 12 to 15 minutes, or until no sugar grains remain in mixture.
  • 5. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each has been added. Measure out flour and gradually add to creamed mixture beating well after each addition.
  • 6. Add Almond Extract & vanilla Bean paste or extract and beat till blended. Prepare baking pans by spraying with Bakers Joy, or greasing with butter and dusting with lightly with flour.
  • 7. Pour batter evenly into all 3 pans. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 32 to 38 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • 8. Let sit in pan till sides of cake pulls away from sides of pan about 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack. Frost as desired. I LOVE USING BAKERS JOY WHEN I AM BAKING CAKES.
  • 9. To make the strawberry Jelly frosting add all of the jellies to a large bowl, then add the gelatin, powdered sugar, & lemon juice, then whisk or beat with a mixer on low speed till blended. Frost each layer separately then top with shredded coconut, before adding the next layer. Coat sides also if desired, and add shredded coconut. Garnish with fresh strawberries and candies if desired. NOTE: You can also add STRAWBERRY JAM between each cake layers if desired, instead of the jelly and just use the jelly for the top and sides. Refrigerate leftover for a later use if desired.
  • 10. Frost one layer of cake at a time, before adding the next layer, then top each layer with the sweetened shredded coconut, on sides and liberally on top. Garnish with fruit and candy as desired.
