Frozen Strawberry Banana Cake With Strawberry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Cut cake into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange enough slices in bottom of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides to just cover bottom, fitting tightly. Cook preserves and liqueur in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until reduced to 2/3 cup, stirring frequently, about 14 minutes. Spread half of preserves mixture over cake in pan. Freeze 10 minutes. Spoon sorbet over cake in pan; smooth top. Arrange more cake slices over to just cover sorbet. Spread remaining preserves mixture over cake. Freeze 10 minutes.
• Spoon frozen yogurt over cake; smooth top. Cover and freeze overnight. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead.)
• Puree thawed berries in processor. Cover and refrigerate until cold. (Sauce can be prepared 2 days ahead.)
• Release pan sides from cake. Place banana slices around cake edge. Mound berries in center. Serve cake with sauce.

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.
