Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
8 large eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon red gel food coloring
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups cold heavy cream
Blue sanding sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray; line with parchment, then spray the parchment. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the cocoa powder and baking powder. Set aside.
  • Beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in the cream of tartar and salt, then slowly beat in 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Increase the speed to high; beat until stiff shiny peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the meringue to a separate bowl.
  • In the same mixer bowl (leave it dirty!), combine the egg yolks, vanilla and the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Beat on high speed until light and doubled in volume, about 2 minutes. Beat in the water and canola oil.
  • Sift the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture, then stir with a rubber spatula until just combined.
  • Add the food coloring to the batter and beat on high speed until smooth and bright red, about 1 minute.
  • Stir a dollop of the meringue into the batter using a rubber spatula. Add the remaining meringue and gently fold into the batter until no white streaks remain.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared baking sheet; spread evenly with an offset spatula. Tap the bottom of the pan firmly against the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately loosen the edges with a paring knife.
  • Dust the cake with confectioners' sugar, working quickly while the cake is still warm.
  • Lay a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) over the cake. Place another baking sheet on top of the towel.
  • Invert the cake onto the towel. Remove the pan and peel off the parchment.
  • Starting at a short end, roll up the cake and towel together into a log. Keep the cake rolled up until it has cooled completely.
  • Unroll the cake (it's OK if the end is still curled up). Cut the cake into 3 long strips, each about 4 inches wide. Use a ruler to make sure they're even.
  • Spread an even layer of frosting on each strip of cake (use a little less than one-third of the frosting). Make sure to get frosting under the curled end.
  • Make the frosting: In a clean mixer bowl, beat the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla and heavy cream. Slowly increase the speed to high and beat until smooth.
  • Roll up one of the strips into a tight spiral.
  • Move the spiral over to the next strip so that the ends meet and roll up into a fatter spiral. Continue with the third strip to make a large spiral.
  • Turn the cake flat-side down and place on a cardboard round or platter. Gently squeeze the spiral together to make sure it's compact.
  • Cover the cake completely with a thin layer of frosting, using the frosting to cover the seam of the spiral. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Return the cake (without the cardboard round) to your workspace and cover completely with the remaining frosting using an offset spatula.
  • Place a star-shaped cookie cutter on top of the cake. Sprinkle some blue sanding sugar inside the cutter (use a small brush to help distribute the sugar), then carefully lift the cutter. Repeat to make more stars in different sizes. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • When you slice into the spiral, you see vertical stripes!

STARS AND STRIPES CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield one 9 by 13 by 2-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour (gently spoon flour into cup and level off)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup sour cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 baskets fresh raspberries, or 1 pint strawberries, rinsed, hulled and sliced
1 pint blueberries, rinsed, picked over and drained

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the middle level. Butter and flour a 9 by 13 by 2-inch pan.
  • Beat the butter by machine with the sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in the extract. Mix the flour with the salt and baking soda and add it alternately to the batter with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape down bowl and beater often during this stage of mixing.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake the cake about 40 minutes, or until it is well risen and deep golden and a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
  • Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for a few minutes, then unmold and cool completely. Wrap cake tightly in plastic wrap for storage.
  • For the whipped cream, combine all ingredients and whip on medium speed until stiff.
  • To finish the cake, place the layer on a cardboard or platter and spread with the cream. Arrange the blueberries in the upper left corner of the cake, as on the starred field of a flag, then use the raspberries or strawberries to make the red stripes, leaving stripes of uncovered whipped cream between the stripes of berries. Chill cake until just before serving.
