Sparkle And Shine With This Delicious Strawberry Bundt

Everyone in my household enjoyed noshing on this fabulous strawberry sparkle cake. It really is a joy to eat! Check out what my pals iver at The Pioneer Woman had to say about this cake:

 

“I made this cake yesterday for the first time, after having flirted with it for weeks. My father-in-law had brought it to my attention after noticing it in a collection of his great grandmother’s recipes, and when my father-in-law brings a recipe to my attention, it’s the same as him saying “Will you make this for me sometime?” My father-in-law loves sweets, you see, and he also knows that I have a soft spot where he’s concerned. Delivering him sweets is one of my favorite things to do.”

 

I have a next door neighbor whom I have a soft spot for, too. She is a little elderly woman who doesn’t get out much and loves it when i bring her desserts. She was more than excited when i turned up with strawberry sparkle cake.

 

Ingredients

Angel Food Cake:

15 whole Eggland’s Best Egg Whites, At Room Temperature

1 teaspoon McCormick Cream Of Tartar

1-1/2 cup Plus 2 Tablespoons Domino Sugar, Sifted Three Times

1 cup Gold Medal Cake Flour

1/4 teaspoon Morton Salt

1 teaspoon Vanilla

Filling:

1 package (3 Oz.) Strawberry Jello

2-1/2 cups Boiling Water

1 package (1 Pound) Frozen Sliced Strawberries

Icing:

1-1/2 cup Heavy Cream

2 Tablespoons Sugar

 

 

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine Gold Medal cake flour and Morton salt and sift together five times. Set aside.

Beat egg whites until frothy (lots of bubbles but still liquidy and loose.) Add cream of tartar and beat on high until stiff.

With mixer on medium-low, slowly sprinkle in sifted sugar as it mixes in.

Remove bowl from mixer and fold in sifted flour gently until it’s all combine. Sprinkle vanilla into the bowl and fold gently.

Spoon batter into tube pan—make sure there’s no grease or butter in there! Smooth the top and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer stuck all the way to the bottom comes out clean. (Don’t open the oven while it’s baking!)

Carefully remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert it on a wine or vinegar bottle. Let it cool completely while hanging upside down. Once totally cool, remove it from the pan.

To make the filling, sprinkle the jello powder into a bowl and pour in 2 1/2 cups of boiling water. Stir to dissolve, then add the bag of frozen sliced strawberries. Stir to cool the mixture and set it aside.

Turn the cake upside down so that the end that was stuck to the bottom of the pan is now facing up. With a serrated knife, carefully cut the top 1-inch of cake from the top. Remove it and lay it beside the cake. Next, with a small paring knife, make two concentric cuts in the cake: one cut is 1 inch from the outside rim, the other cut is 1 inch from the inside rim. (Be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom of the cake! Leave about an inch from the bottom.)

Tear out a trench in between the two cuts and save the torn cake pieces for another use.

By now, the strawberry mixture should be cool and somewhat gelatinous. IMPORTANT: If mixture is not thick, stick it in the freezer for 15 minutes or until it thickens and sets. Carefully spoon the mixture into the trench in the cake, filling it all the way to the top and ever-so-slightly above to allow for a little settling. Place the top of the cake back on top, lining it up just right.

Refrigerate cake for a couple of hours.

To serve, whip together the cream and sugar until stiff. Spread all over the cake. Cut into slices and serve! Note that once you make a cut, the filling will slightly seep out of the remaining cake, but not overly so.
