Strawberry Sunshine Cake image

I got this recipe out of a Taste of Home book last summer and I love this recipe. I made it for a BBQ and my daughter requested it as a birthday cake. I've also used strawberries and blueberries for 4th of July celebration. The recipe recommends slicing the cake with a serrated knife. To split the cake into three layers I use dental floss - Makes a nice clean cut.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 cake, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup egg white (about 7)
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
5 egg yolks
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup ice water
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
1 (8 ounce) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided
1 pint fresh strawberries, for garnishment (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add 1 cup sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form; set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat egg yolks until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Gradually add remaining sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored.
  • Blend in water and extracts.
  • Sift flour over batter; beat until smooth.
  • Fold in egg whites just until blended.
  • Spoon into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
  • Cut through batter with a knife to removed air pockets; smooth the top.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
  • Immediately invert pan; cool completely.
  • In a large bowl; dissolve gelatin in bowling water. Add ice water and stir.
  • Place bowl in ice water for about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • Fold in strawberries and 1/2 cup of the whipped topping.
  • Run a knife around the edges of pan to loosen cake.
  • Split the cake horizontally into three layers (I use dental floss); place bottom layer on a serving plate.
  • Spread with half of the gelatin mixture. Repeat with a layer of cake and then the remaining gelatin mixture. Top with remaining cake layer.
  • Frost top and sides with remaining whipped topping. Garnish with strawberries.
  • Store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Refrigerate leftovers.
