Strawberry Pop Cake Recipes

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.

STRAWBERRY POCKY STICK CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Line the pans with parchment paper circles, then butter the parchment.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and fine salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until pale yellow and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix in the buttermilk and vanilla until just combined, about 1 minute. Slowly add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
• Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans. Bake the cakes until golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely, about 2 hours.
• For the frosting: Meanwhile, beat the confectioners' sugar, butter, milk, kosher salt and strawberry extract if using in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping the sides as needed, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1 cup of frosting to each of 2 different bowls. Use the red gel food coloring to color one bowl of frosting the same color as the strawberry sticks. Color the second bowl of frosting slightly lighter than the first one. Cover all 3 bowls tightly with plastic wrap until ready to use, pressing the wrap against the frosting.
• Assemble the cake: Cut each cake in half widthwise with a serrated knife so that you have 4 cake layers that are the same height. Place one cake layer onto a cake stand and spread with the dark pink frosting, then top with another cake layer. Spread the light pink frosting over the top of that layer and top with a third cake layer. Spread 1 cup of white frosting over the top of that layer and top with the last cake layer. Cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining white frosting.
• Arrange the biscuit sticks vertically around the cake, side by side so they are touching, with the pink ends facing down. Entirely cover the top of the cake with the sprinkles and serve.
