Strawberry Disaster Cake Recipes

BYRON'S DELICIOUS STRAWBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cover the bottoms of one 8-inch springform pan and one 9-inch spring form pan with parchment paper or grease and lightly flour.
• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a large measuring cup.
• Beat butter, sugar, eggs, strawberry extract, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
• Stir flour mixture, 1 cup at a time, and milk, 1/3 cup at a time, into butter mixture until a well-blended batter forms; stir strawberry puree into batter.
• Pour batter into prepared springform pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes.

STRAWBERRY DISASTER CAKE

Steps:

• Mix strawberries & sugar together & let stand for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease & flour a 13"x9" glass baking dish.
• Combine the strawberries & sugar mixture with the next six ingredients together in a large mixing bowl & beat with electric beater on medium-high speed for 3 minutes until well blended.
• Pour into prepared pan & bake 60-65 minutes, then cool 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing completely from the baking pan. Cool COMPLETELY.
• Break the cooled cake into good sized chunks [larger than bite-sized] & spread them out in a 15"x10" baking dish, making sure all the pieces are below the rim of the baking dish, but NOT FLAT ~ Lumpy is great!
• If wanted, spread the optional 2 cups of sliced fresh strawberries over the top of the cake pieces.
• In a large sauce pan mix the Danish Desert with the cold water. Bring it to a full boil & boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• If you opt to use the cream cheese, either mix it in with the Danish Desert hot pudding at this time, OR carefully pour the red pudding mixture into a large mixing bowl and just as carefully, using an electric mixer on low (or use a large whisk), mix the pudding & cream cheese together. [There will probably be small specks of cheese throughout the pudding mixture, & that's fine. Pour the pudding over the cake & strawberries, being careful to completely cover all of the cake and all of the strawberries [Although the chunks are covered, the result should be a lumpy, bumpy surface, not smooth!]. To avoid a top film on the pudding, cover the entire surface of the pudding with plastic wrap and let cake cool completely. Refrigerate.

FROZEN STRAWBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Add shortening, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes. Fold in strawberries. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
• While cake cools, pour reserved strawberry juice in a pan and bring to a boil. Mix water and cornstarch together and add to the juice; cook and stir until sauce thickens. Serve over cake.

STRAWBERRY SUMAC CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare the strawberries: Combine the chopped strawberries, sumac, sugar and almond extract in a small bowl and set aside to macerate, a process of letting the berries soften and release their juices.
• Meanwhile, prepare the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, baking soda and baking powder to combine. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a medium bowl using a handheld mixer, beat the eggs and 1 cup/200 grams sugar on medium-high speed until very pale and light yellow in color, about 3 minutes. The mixture should thicken and make ribbons that slowly lose their shape when they fall off the whisk attachment. With the mixer on high speed, slowly add the remaining 1 cup/240 milliliters olive oil and beat until everything is combined.
• Reduce the speed to medium-low and slowly begin adding the dry ingredients in 3 additions, adding the half-and-half in between additions. Mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and fold in the diced strawberries and their liquid. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Arrange the halved strawberries on the top.
• Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the cake is becoming too brown before the center has set, cover loosely with foil.
• In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons/25 grams sugar with the sumac. Sprinkle the cake with the sumac sugar while still slightly warm.
• Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Turn the cake out of the pan onto the rack or release the springform ring and remove it. (If using a standard cake pan, some sugar may fall off of the cake. Use parchment or wax paper to catch any stray sugar and sprinkle back over the cake.) Let cool completely before serving. Store leftover cake in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 1 day (or refrigerate up to 4 days).
