STRAWBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray; line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Combine the eggs and 1 cup of the sugar in a medium bowl and beat on high speed with a handheld mixer until thick, pale and doubled in size, about 4 minutes. Add the yogurt, melted butter and vanilla; beat for another minute. Add the flour, baking powder and salt; mix until just combined, 30 seconds. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly to the edges. Sprinkle the sliced berries on top. Pour the remaining batter over the berries; spread evenly once again. Top decoratively with the strawberry halves and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Serve with honey whipped cream.

STRAWBERRY SPARKLE CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Make the cake: Beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until stiff. Sift the superfine sugar three times and add slowly to the egg whites. Sift the cake flour and salt five times, and then fold slowly into the egg whites. Sprinkle in the vanilla and fold. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes in an unbuttered angel food cake pan. After the cake rises and begins to brown, cover with buttered paper. Remove the paper in the last 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, inverted on a bottle or jar that fits the cake pan. Make the filling: Dissolve the gelatin in boiling water and add the strawberries, stirring to break up and mix the berries. Make the icing: Whip the cream with the powdered sugar until thick. Assemble the cake: Place the cake, wide-side down, on a serving plate. Cut a 1-inch layer from the top and set it aside. Cut around the cake 1 inch from the outer edge to 1 inch from the bottom. Cut around the cake 1 inch from the inner edge to 1 inch from the bottom. Gently remove the section of cake between the cuts and pour in the strawberry mixture. Place the top cake layer back on top and spread the icing all over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with whole strawberries. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving so the filling firms up. You'll have left over cake. Serve it at another dessert with just some berries and cream on top.
