Strawberry Rose Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease bottoms and sides of 2 (8- or 9-inch) round cake pans with shortening; lightly flour. Make cake mix as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs. Bake and cool as directed.
• In large bowl, beat shortening and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low. Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating after each addition. Once half of the sugar has been added, gradually beat in milk. Add remaining 4 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating after each addition until blended and frosting is smooth. On spoon, place 8 small dots red food color and 1 small dot blue food color. Add food color to frosting; beat until frosting is an even rose color.
• Place 1 cake layer, rounded side down, on serving plate. Pipe thin ring of frosting around top edge of cake. Spread strawberry jam on cake in middle of ring. Place second cake layer, rounded side down, on first layer. Frost side and top of cake with frosting.
• Spoon remaining frosting into decorating bag fitted with large star tip. To make first frosting rose in middle of cake, squeeze bag to start piping frosting in center, then slowly move tip in a circle around center point. Repeat to make more roses to cover top of cake (try to make roses similar in size). Decorate with sprinkles.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and eggs.
• Add ½ cup (120 ml) of milk at a time, stirring vigorously, making sure that each addition is completely incorporated into the batter and that the batter is smooth before adding more milk.
• Strain the batter through a fine mesh sieve. The batter should be very liquidy and have no lumps. Rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat until combined. Add the heavy cream and mix until smooth. Set aside.
• In a 9.5 inch (24-cm) nonstick pan over medium heat, pour ⅓ cup (40 g) of the batter in the center, and swirl the batter around to the edges of the pan.
• Cook the crepe until bubbles rise to the surface and the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until the edges start to crisp slightly, about 1 minute more.
• Transfer the crepe to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Stack the crepes on top of each other, then cut in half. Stack the halves on top of each other, and cut the stack into two even strips.
• Place two crepe strips on a flat surface and spread the cream cheese mixture on both. Arrange sliced strawberries on one of the strips.
• Roll up the first strip with the strawberries, then roll the second strip around it. Repeat with the rest of the strips of crepes, alternating between strips with strawberries and strips without. Once it becomes too large to roll, lay the cake on a serving platter.
• Spread the remaining crepe strips with cream cheese and gently press them around the outside of the cake. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to set.
• Enjoy!
