A wonderful quick and easy trifle for Easter, or anytime! Luscious lemon filling plus fresh strawberries and whipped cream are layered with angel food cake cubes in this delicious variation on my Strawberries and Cream Trifle. Tip: Can be made using part lemon curd and part lemon pie filling for a more lemony-tart version. Yum! I like to make this trifle in the morning or a day in advance, and then chill until ready to serve. Can be made in a large trifle bowl, or in individual dessert glasses. Enjoy!

ANGEL CAKE



Angel cake image

Treat guests to this colourful angel cake with decorative fondant icing. It will go down well with a cuppa for afternoon tea

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

50g unsalted butter plus extra for the tin
150g caster sugar
4 large eggs
150g plain flour, sieved
a drop each of pink and yellow food colouring
a drop each of lemon and raspberry extract
100g butter, softened
200g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla paste
½ tbsp milk
200g fondant icing sugar
pink food colouring

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Butter a 25 x 20cm baking tin, and line the base with baking parchment. Stack a sheet of baking parchment over a sheet of foil, then fold in half so the parchment is facing out. Use this to divide the tin into three sections crosswise, each about 8cm wide.
  • Melt the butter, remove from the heat and set aside. Put the sugar and eggs in a large heatproof bowl over a pan of just simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Beat using an electric whisk until really thick and pale, about 4-5 mins.
  • Add a fifth of the mixture to the melted butter and mix to combine. Pour the butter mixture into the egg mixture, and carefully fold in along with the flour. Divide the mixture between three bowls. Leave one bowl of batter plain, then fold a drop each of pink food colouring and raspberry extract into the second bowl, and a drop each of yellow food colouring and lemon extract into the third bowl.
  • Carefully pour one of the batters into each of the three sections in the prepared tin. Bake for 12-15 mins until cooked through, or a skewer inserted into the middle of the cakes comes out clean. Leave to cool slightly in the tin, then carefully transfer the three cakes to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
  • To make the buttercream, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and milk together for 5 mins with an electric whisk until pale and creamy. To assemble the cake, put the plain sponge on a board and spread with half the buttercream. Top with the raspberry sponge, then spread with the remaining buttercream and top with the lemon sponge. Trim the sides so they're straight, even and neat.
  • To make the fondant icing, sift the sugar into a bowl and mix with 1½-3 tbsp water until you have a thick, droppable icing. Transfer a quarter of the icing to a second bowl, and mix in a drop of pink food colouring. Transfer the pink icing to a piping bag.
  • Spread the plain fondant icing over the top of the lemon sponge, making sure it doesn't drip down the sides. Pipe thin lines of pink icing on top across the width of the cake, space apart. Drag a cocktail stick through the lines lengthways to create a marbled effect. Leave to set slightly, then slice the cake into six even rectangles.

Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Room temperature components emulsify and incorporate better, resulting in a smooth and consistent batter.
  • Sift the cake flour and cornstarch together to remove lumps and ensure a light and airy cake texture.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form to incorporate air and create a stable meringue, which contributes to the cake's height and structure.
  • Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while beating continuously to prevent the mixture from becoming grainy.
  • Fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg white mixture gently to maintain the air incorporated during whipping.
  • Pour the batter into an ungreased tube pan to allow the cake to rise and develop a golden-brown crust.
  • Bake the cake at 325°F (163°C) for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Invert the cake onto a wire rack immediately after baking to prevent it from sinking and to promote even cooling.
  • Make the strawberry glaze while the cake is cooling. Combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and strawberries in a food processor or blender until smooth.

Conclusion:

The Strawberry Lemon Angel Cake is a delightful dessert that combines the flavors of sweet strawberries, tart lemon, and fluffy angel food cake. The cake is made with egg whites, sugar, cake flour, cornstarch, and salt, resulting in a light and airy texture. The strawberry glaze adds a vibrant color and a burst of flavor to the cake. Whether enjoyed as a special occasion treat or as a simple dessert, this cake is sure to impress with its stunning appearance and delicious taste.
