Strawberries And Cream Cake Pops Recipes

STRAWBERRY CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Add the strawberries to a small saucepan with 1 tsp of water and cook them over medium heat, for about 10-15 minutes, until softened. Either using an immersion blender, or placing the strawberries into a blender, blend the strawberries until smooth. Return the strawberries to the pot and simmer for 10 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease and flour an 8 or 9″ cake pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix together. With the mixer running on low, slowly mix in half of the dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk, followed by the remaining dry ingredients, and then the strawberry puree. Mix just until combined. Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan, and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes, before inverting it on to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 2 hours.**
• In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter on high for 1-2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add in the powdered sugar, followed by the strawberry puree. Mix until thoroughly combined and smooth.
• Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl, and stir in the strawberry buttercream until mixed together. 1 tablespoon at a time, roll the mixture into balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the balls are rolled out, place the baking sheet in the fridge for 2 hours to firm up. Remove the pan and re-roll the balls with your hand to create firm, smooth balls. Place the pan back in the fridge.
• Melt half the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, in 30 second intervals and at half power.*** Once the chocolate is smooth and runny, remove a few cake pops from the fridge. Dip a lollipop stick about a half inch into the melted chocolate, then carefully insert it into the middle of a cake pop. Holding it by the stick, dip the cake pop directly into the melted chocolate, covering it right to the base of the stick. Tap the cake pop lightly against the side of the cup to remove any excess chocolate. Add sprinkles immediately after dipping, if you're using. Place the cake pop to dry into a styrofoam block or cardboard box with some small holes poked into it. Repeat with the remaining cake pops, heating the other half of chocolate up when the melted chocolate begins to run low. Once the cake pops are dry, remove and enjoy!

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9 inch round cake pans.
• In a large bowl, beat sugar, gelatin and butter until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Mix flour and baking powder, and beat alternately with the milk into the sugar mixture. Fold in 1 teaspoon vanilla and pureed strawberries. Divide equally into three 9 inch round cake pans.
• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove from pans and cool completely.
• To make the filling: Beat whipping cream, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla on high until stiff. Fill each layer with 1/3 of the whipped cream and 3/4 cup sliced strawberries.
• To make the frosting: Beat the margarine, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Spread over the sides of the cake, and pipe an edge of frosting around the top of the cake.
• Spread remaining whipped cream on cake top. Top with quartered strawberries.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and egg whites. Cool completely.
• Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. In large bowl, beat powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter and jam with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Crumble cake into cream cheese mixture; mix well. Stir in dried strawberries. Shape into 2-inch balls; place on cookie sheet. Freeze until firm. When cake balls are firm, transfer to refrigerator.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons melted red candy into pink candy; swirl gently. Remove several cake balls from refrigerator at a time. Dip tip of 1 lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into melted candy and insert stick into 1 cake ball no more than halfway. Dip each cake ball into swirled candy to cover; tap off excess. (Spoon more red candy into pink candy as needed.) Poke opposite end of stick into foam block. Sprinkle with pink sugar. Let stand until set.

STRAWBERRY CAKE POPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Put ½ lb of strawberries in a blender or food processor and make a puree, making about a ½ cup or a little over. Simmer this in a pot over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes OR until you are left with about 1/4 cup of puree left. Remove this from the heat and let cool completely. I put mine in the fridge/freezer to speed up the process. You can make this the day before to ensure that it cools completley in the fridge overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a 9x9 round cake pan with non stick spray.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until combined and set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, in a large bowl cream together the room temperature butter and sugar until smooth (about 2 minutes). Add in the egg white and beat on high speed until combined (about 2 minutes). Add in the vanilla and greek yogurt, mixing until combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Slowly pour the milk in while your mixer is on low speed, just until it's combined. Be careful not to overmix! Mix in the completely cooled ¼ cup of strawberry puree until just incorporated. You can add a few drops of red or pink food coloring here as well if you would like to have a more pink cake.
• Pour batter into the greased cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you notice your cake starting to brown a bit too much on top, you can cover it with tinfoil while baking.
• Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire cooling rack.
• Using a blender or food processor, blend the freeze-dried strawberries into a powder. You should have about a ¼ cup. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, strawberry powder, 2 tsp of milk, and vanilla. Mix on medium-high for about 2-3 mintues, until smooth and creamy. If needed, add another 1-2 tsp of milk to get the right consistency.
• Once your cake is completely cooled, crumble the entire cake into the bowl of frosting, making sure there are no large lumps. If you had any hard/burnt pieces of cake, feel free to discard them. Turn the mixer on low until the cake and frosting combine.
• Measure 1 tbsp of cake mix and roll into a ball, then place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or the fridge for an hour. Cake pops come together easier when the cake balls are very cold.
• Once they are chilled, melt the chocolate melts or chips in a deep measuring cup (I use a 2-cup one linked above). If using chocolate chips: reminder to use ½ tbsp oil for each cup of chocolate melted.
• Take your cake balls out of the freezer. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the chocolate and press into the center of the cake ball, inserting about halfway through. Repeat for all the cake balls and place back into the freezer for another 10-15 minutes.
• Taking about 3-4 cake pops out of the freezer at a time, dunk the cake pop into the chocolate coating fully, making sure to get all the way to the lollipop stick. Gently tap the stick on the side of the measuring cup to remove excess coating. Place your cake pop either upright in a styrofoam board or a box (see pictures above) or you could always place them down on another parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Decorate each one immediately as they dry pretty quickly since they are cold. Cake pops should be completely dried within an hour. I like to keep mine in the fridge before serving.

CAKE POPS WITH STRAWBERRY FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a bowl; mix well. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 23 to 28 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool until safe to handle, about 1 hour. Score cooled cake into quarters using a knife.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove 1/4 of the cake from the pan; cut off and discard any hard outer edges. Crumble cake into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon icing; use the back of a spoon to mash until mixture binds together. Use a cake-pop baller or small ice cream scoop to shape mixture into balls. Roll balls between cupped hands until firm and smooth. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cake quarters and icing.
• Cover cake balls with plastic wrap and foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Cover a styrofoam block with foil to use as a stand for the cake pops; use a knitting needle to punch approximately 40 holes in the block.
• Remove cake balls from the refrigerator. Use a cake-pop baller or thin knitting needle to make a guide hole halfway through each ball. Return cake balls to the refrigerator while preparing icing.
• Place icing in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave until softened, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Remove cake balls from refrigerator. Push the end of a lollipop stick into a ball; dip ball straight down into icing until submerged and melted icing touches the stick. Tap softly to remove excess icing, and immediately cover with sprinkles. Push cake pop stick into the styrofoam block. Repeat with remaining cake balls. Allow to dry, about 1 hour.

STRAWBERRIES & CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/gas 4. Grease the two cake tins and set aside.
• Pour the eggs, butter, sugar, flour and baking powder into a big bowl & beat together until thoroughly combined. Divide the mixture evenly between the two tins and place in the oven for around 20-25 minutes.
• Whilst the cakes are baking, start by slicing your strawberries (top downwards) - into about 4-5 slices per strawberry and then set aside. Leave 1 or 2 whole strawberries & about 6-8 good slices for the topping.
• In a clean glass or metal bowl, pour the cream and and whisk on low speed for about 30 seconds before increasing to medium speed until the cream begins to form stiff peaks (this should take a couple of minutes). Stop as soon as the peaks are formed, otherwise you will over-whisk.
• When the cakes are ready, transfer onto a cooling rack and using a knife/cake leveller, slice the rounded tops off to create a smooth surface. Allow to completely cool before assembling.
• In a new bowl, add the milk, butter, half the icing sugar, strawberry essence and colouring and whisk on medium speed until combined. Gradually add the remaining icing sugar until it combines to create a light and fluffy pink buttercream.
• Next, spread a generous layer of jam on the base of one cake. Add the sliced stawberries in a circular pattern and then top with just over half the whipped cream (save the rest) to create a thick inner layer. Place the second cake on top and carefully spread the icing on top
• Finally, add the remaining cream to a piping bag with an izing nozzle or ziplock bag with the end snipped off & pipe 6-8 cream 'nests' around the edges. Add a sliced strawberry to the top of each. Add a final whole strawberry in the middle - there are lots of online video tutorials for creating strawberry rose shapes! Dust with icing sugar & serve on the day.

STRAWBERRIES & CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) round cake pans.
• In a large bowl, combine cake ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
• Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before turning onto wire racks to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting: in a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until very stiff peaks form.
• In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy.
• Add the sugar and vanilla to the cream cheese and beat until well combined.
• Gently fold the strawberries into the cream cheese mixture. The frosting will turn slightly pink. Mix until the frosting is a uniform color.
• Fold the whipped cream into the frosting in two batches.
• Spread 1 1/2 to 2 cups frosting over the top of one cake layer (don't be afraid to be generous). Place another cake layer on top and repeat.
• Place the third cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Garnish with additional fresh strawberries, if desired.
• Refrigerate until serving. Keep leftover cake in the refrigerator.
