Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Cake

Get ready for your mouth to start watering.
This Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Recipe is one-of-a-kind and incredibly delicious. Strawberry shortcake recipes are incredibly popular because of the beautiful flavor combination and the delicious textures of pastry, cream, and of course, strawberries. This Strawberry shortcake cheesecake is a twist on the traditional strawberry shortcake recipe by incorporating the same incredible strawberry shortcake recipe flavors and key features but combining it with strawberry cheesecake.

Cheesecakes and specifically strawberry cheesecake are some of my favorite types of cake to make. Cheesecakes are incredibly simple, taste delicious, and are a crowd-pleaser. This strawberry shortcake cheesecake recipe does exactly that. Not only does it look incredibly impressive, but tastes better than it even looks.

If you like strawberry cheesecake or strawberry shortcake recipes, this needs to be the next cake you make.

The ingredients are fairly simple when it comes to this strawberry shortcake cheesecake recipe. The main star of the show, (other than the delicious strawberries), is the Golden Oreos. Oreos are some of my favorite companions when it comes to cheesecakes, but Golden Oreos are what takes this strawberry shortcakes cheesecake recipe to the next level and truly mimic that traditional strawberry shortcake recipe flavor.

Bake time is only about an hour and the prep time is hardly anything, making it the perfect cake recipe for your next birthday party, special occasion or this strawberry shortcake cheesecake would be absolutely amazing for Valentine’s Day as well!


INGRIDIENTS:

Bottom crust


  • 22 Golden Oreos Crushed
  • 5 Tbsp Melted butter


Filling


  • 4 8oz packages cream cheese
  • 1 2/3 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • 1 Tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Topping


  • 12 Golden Oreos Crushed & divided into 2 bowls (one for plain Oreo topping, one for your strawberry ones)
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Softened Butter
  • 3 Tbsp from a small package of strawberry gelatin


DERICTION:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Line the outer perimeter of your pan with aluminum foil and generously apply butter to the inside to prevent sticking.


Crust – crush the Oreo’s & incorporate the butter, press into the bottom of your springform pan.


Filling – Place one 8-ounce package of the cream cheese, 1/3 cup of the sugar, and the cornstarch in a large bowl.


Beat with an electric mixer on low until creamy, about 3 minutes, then beat in the remaining 3 packages of the cream cheese. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat in the remaining 1 1/3 cups of the sugar, then beat in the vanilla.


Blend in the eggs, one at a time, beating the batter well after each one.


Blend in heavy cream.


At this point mix the filling only until completely blended. Be careful not to overmix the batter.


Gently spoon 1/2 of the cheese filling on top of the prepared crust. spoon plops 1/2 the jar of strawberry topping here and there. Drag a butterknife through the strawberries to marblize the cheese/straberries. Spoon in the other half of the batter and the repeat the strawberry process on top. Bake for 1 hour or until there is only a slight jiggle when shook gently.


Crumb Topping – In a small bowl or the food processor, add the Oreo cookies and pulse into large crumbs. Add the softened butter and mix gently with a fork or your hands to make pea-sized pieces stick together. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the mixture into a small bowl and set aside. Pour strawberry jello powder over the remaining crumbs and continue pinching the pieces together. Add more softened butter if needed for mixture to stick to the cake.

Banana Pudding Cheesecake Bars

Homemade Banana Pudding Cheesecake Bars is easy and everyone will be impressed with this Recipe. The secret to a perfect Banana Pudding Cheesecake Bars is to freeze them. There isn’t a super-quick way to firm them up, so we highly suggest making these the night before and garnishing them right before serving.

Banana Pudding Cheesecake Bars

Prep Time: 15 Minutes | Cook Time: 10 Minutes | Total Time: 25 Minutes | Yield: 12


Ingredients

For Crust

  • 6 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (2 stick) + 5 tablespoons salted butter, melted

For Filling

  • 8 (8 ounce) packages full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature 
  • 3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 (3.4 ounce) package banana cream instant pudding powder
  • 5 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, or vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon almond extract

For Topping

  • banana cream pudding- optional
  • mini nilla wafers- optional
  • fresh banana coins- optional
  • optional : fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by fitting it with parchment paper with enough paper hanging over the sides to ensure easy lifting; and then spray it with baking spray for extra measure. Then set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter together. Use your hands (with disposable gloves, if desired) to bring everything together until it begins to feel like wet sand. Empty the crumb mixture into the prepared baking pan and use your hands/bottom of a measuring cup to firmly press the mixture tightly onto the bottom of the pan.
  3. Bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes. Then set it aside while you make the filling.

For Cheesecake Filling

  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese together until silky smooth. Then add in the brown sugar and continue beating until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the banana cream instant pudding powder and heavy cream together. Use a whisk to combine the mixture together until the pudding powder dissolves- it’s okay if it is not completely smooth. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the cream cheese and continue beating together until everything is combined with no visible lumps present. Then add in the vanilla bean paste and almond extract, and beat again to fully combine.
  3. Pour the cheesecake filling directly on top of the cooled crust. The cheesecake batter should be thick, use an offset spatula to smooth the filling out evenly in the pan. Cover the baking pan carefully with plastic wrap or foil and transfer the pan into the refrigerator to let the cheesecake set overnight for at least 8 hours or ideally for 12 hours (for best results).

Serving

  1. Take the cheesecake out of the refrigerator and carefully lift the parchment paper sides out. Place the cheesecake onto a large enough plate or board. Then use a large knife to cut it into squares- I like to run my knife under hot water in between slicing to ensure clean/neat cuts. 
  2. Garnish the cheesecake squares with a dollop of banana cream pudding, mini nilla wafers, banana coins, and fresh mint leaves, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Storing: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, covered/without garnishes, for up to one week. You can also freeze the cheesecake bars for 3 weeks.
  2. Please read the blog post in its entirety for more tips + tricks.

I have another fabulous copycat recipe for you today; Cheesecake Factory Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake!

The Cheesecake Factory is known for their fabulous, decadent cakes and cheesecakes. This Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake is one of my favorites to order there, but it’s a treat to have only once {or twice} a year.

If you love Cheesecake Factory’s Cheesecake Cakes, then check out my copycat Carrot Cake Cheesecake Cake. I served this cake at a dinner party, and everyone loved it, it was a real show-stopper! 

It’s a labor of love and completely worth it! The cheesecake layer between layers of red velvet cake topped with cream cheese icing is delicious and beautiful to look at.

Make the cheesecake layer:

  2. Add eggs, one a time, until combined.
  3. Add sour cream, flour, vanilla, and salt and beat until combined.
  4. Pour filling into a SEPARATE 9′ springform pan, use parchment paper to line it then bake until only slightly jiggly in the center, about 1 hour.
  5. Let cool slightly, then transfer to the freezer to cool completely and firm up before assembling on top of the red velvet cake layer. Use a cake leveler again if needed/desired to achieve even layers.

NOTE if you would prefer to bake them together, just bake the cake first in the springform pan, then add the cheesecake layer on top of the baked cake & bake until the cheesecake layer is slightly jiggly- then stick in freezer until completely cooled & firm.


Make whipped frosting:

  1. Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl.
  2. Using a large balloon whisk, whisk together the ingredients by hand for about five minutes until soft peaks start to form.

  5. Then spread the whipped cream over the top of the cheesecake.
  6. Use a decorators pastry tip to create whipped dollops on the edge.
  7. Garnish with red velvet cake crumbs and serve.

New York Cheesecake

Simple and easy ! My whole family loves this recipe so much. If it were for them, I’d be making this every day! Give it a shot, you’ll love it!
This classic New York Cheesecake with strawberry sauce is easy to make, smooth, creamy, and irresistible.To Make this Recipe You’ Will Need the following ingredients:


INGREDIENTS:

  • 5 large eggs, room temperature

  • 2 cups (one pint) sour cream, room temperature

  • 4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature

  • 8 tablespoons (one stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest


DIRECTIONS:

  1. Generously butter the inside of a 10-inch springform pan. Wrap a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil tightly around the outside bottom and sides, crimping and pleating the foil to make it conform to the pan. This will help to prevent water seeping into the pan when you put it into the bain-marie. Position the baking rack in the center of the oven; preheat the oven to 300* Fahrenheit.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs with the sour cream until well blended.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, beat the cream cheese with the butter until smooth and creamy. Add this to the egg-sour cream mixture and beat until smooth.
  4. Add the sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest and beat thoroughly about 2 minutes.
  5. Pour into the prepared springform pan and place in a roasting pan (or other pans) large enough to prevent the sides from touching. Place in the oven and carefully pour in enough very hot tap water to reach halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  6. Bake for 2 hours, 15 minutes, or until the cake is very lightly colored and a knife inserted in the center emerges clean. Remove from the water bath and carefully peel the aluminum foil from around the pan. Let stand at room temperature until completely cool, about 4 hours. Refrigerate, covered, until well chilled. For best flavor and texture, this cheesecake is best chilled overnight.

Enjoy!!

Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake

Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake

 Layers of graham wafers, no-prepare cheesecake filling, and strawberries finished off with custom made whipped cream. This No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Icebox Cake is so natural to make and scrumptious!

It’s authoritatively March and I have an inclination that it’s the ideal opportunity to begin sharing some no-prepare sweets. While I love heating, there is something in particular about no-prepare treats that make them so engaging. Perhaps the reality you’re not turning on the broiler when it’s 100 degrees outside? Or then again perhaps this is on the grounds that you prepare a great deal and just have one stove that gets utilized excessively a lot? Alright, perhaps that last one is simply me.


Refrigerator cakes are such an ideal no-heat dessert since they require scarcely any exertion. You should simply layer some graham wafers with a no-heat cheesecake filling and strawberries, at that point top it with some whipped cream.


To begin, you’ll need some graham saltines. You can utilize any sort you lean toward in this formula, I just utilized customary nectar graham wafers. You need to use the same number of full-sheets as you can, yet you’ll probably need to separate a couple to fit in the container.


Simple, easy and cheesy! My whole family loves this recipe so much. If it were for them, I’d be making this every day! Give it a shot, you’ll love it!To Make this Recipe You’ Will Need the following ingredients:


Ingredients :

  • 2 lbs of strawberries

  • 2 rows of graham crackers

  • 1 cup (249 mL) cream cheese

  • 1 can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk

  • 2 cans of JELLO Vanilla Pudding (95 grams)

  • 3 cups (749 mL) milk

  • 2 and a half cups Cool Whip Whipped Cream

 


INSTRUCTIONS :

  1. Wash and slice the strawberries.
  2. Line the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking plate ( dish ) with graham crackers. About 6 to 7 cookies. Put aside.
  3. Combine cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl. Beat with your blender until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add milk and pudding mixes. Continue mixing on low speed for 4 to 5 minutes.
  5. Add 2 cups of whipped cream and mix.
  6. Pour half the mixture over the graham crackers.
  7. Put a row of strawberries on top.
  8. Add other line of graham crackers.
  9. Cover with remaining cream mixture and another layer of strawberries.
  10. Refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
  11. Serve and garnish with remaining whipped cream and strawberries.

ENJOY !!

 IF YOU LOVE RED VELVET CHEESECAKE AND YOU LOVE CAKE AS MUCH AS I DO, ONCE YOU MAKE THIS, YOU’LL NEVER GO BACK TO ANOTHER RECIPE AGAIN!



Red Velvet Cheesecake 


INGREDIENTS

CHEESECAKE:

  • Two (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup granulated white sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


RED VELVET CAKE:

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup (two 1-ounce bottles) red food coloring
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar

 

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted lightly to remove any lumps
  • Two (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract


Directions:

  1. Prepare the cheesecake layer:
  2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  3. Place a large roasting pan on the lower third rack of the oven. Place a kettle of water on the stove to boil. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom with a round of parchment paper. Wrap a double layer of foil around the bottom and up the sides of the pan (you want to seal it so the water from the water bath doesn’t seep into the pan).
  4. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to mix the cream cheese blend until it is nice and smooth and creamy. Mix in sugar and salt and blend for 2 minutes, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed. Add eggs, one at a time, blending after each addition. Finally, mix in sour cream, whipping cream and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Set the pan into the roasting pan in the pre-heated oven. Carefully pour the hot water from your kettle into the roasting pan (it will fill the pan surrounding the cheesecake). Pour enough water so that there is about an inch of water coming up the foil along the sides of the cheesecake pan.
  6. Bake the cheesecake for 45 minutes. It should be set to the touch and not jiggly. Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least an hour. When it has cooled, place the pan into the freezer and let the cheesecake freeze completely. This can be done in several hours or overnight.
  7. Prepare the cake layers: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  8. Grease and flour two 9-inch round metal baking pans (or spray with nonstick baking spray with flour). In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  9. Add eggs, oil, buttermilk, food coloring, vanilla and vinegar to the flour mixture. Using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat for 1 minute, until blended. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pans, dividing equally.
  10. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Let cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pans, then invert cakes onto a rack to cool completely.
  11. Prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter and vanilla until it is smooth and creamy (do not overbeat).
  12. Assemble the cake: Place one cake layer into the center of a cake plate or platter. Remove the cheesecake from the freezer, take off the sides of the pan, and slide a knife under the parchment to remove the cheesecake from the pan. Peel off the parchment. Measure your cheesecake layer against the cake layers. If the cheesecake layer turns out to be a slightly larger round than your cake, move it to a cutting board and gently shave off some of the exterior of the cheesecake to get it to the same size as your cake layers. Place the cheesecake layer on top of the first cake layer. Place the 2nd cake layer on top of the cheesecake.


Frost the cake:

  1. Apply a crumb coat layer to the cake. Use a long, thin spatula to cover the cake completely with a thin and even layer of frosting. Be sure to wipe off your spatula each time you are about to dip it back into the bowl to get more frosting (this way you won’t be transferring any red crumbs into the bowl of frosting). Don’t worry at this point about the crumbs being visible in the frosting on the cake. When your cake has a thin layer of frosting all over it, place it into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to “set” the frosting.
  2. Once the first layer of frosting is set, apply the 2nd layer. Start by adding a large scoop of frosting onto the top of the cake. Use a long, thin spatula to spread the frosting evenly across the top and then spread it down the sides of the cake too. Because you applied a crumb-coat layer, you shouldn’t have any red crumbs floating around in the final frosting layer. Decorate, as desired. I recommend white chocolate shavings. Keep this cake refrigerated.

Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones

Saturday, July 3, 2021

 This food truck, about an hour outside West Palm Beach, doles out delectable fare like fried chicken and waffles, loaded cheesy potatoes, strawberry shortcake cheesecake, and more.

It's so hot outside you could fry an egg, as they say. Which means two things for our Southern palates: Extra ice in our sweet tea, and bring on the peach cobbler. Here, here, y'all.



While we're not traveling these days amid the coronavirus crisis, we've discovered a food truck that we're immediately adding to our must-visit list, NuNu's Sweet Soul Food, courtesy of website It's a Southern Thing. You can find the food truck at 708 Delaware Avenue in Fort Pierce, Florida, and the outlet reports that the peach cobbler is "so good diners are willing to drive hours for it." Based on the tantalizing photo, we can't say we're surprised. To further whet your appetite, yes, that's a mix of cheesecake and peach cobbler you see stuffed inside each ice cream cone.



Patricia Hearns is the chef-owner, and also works alongside her husband Robert and the couple's son, Levie Dixon who manages the operation, which includes a catering service and soon-to-open second location. The food truck is named in honor of Hearns' late son and attracts locals and visitors alike to come get a taste of the eclectic menu.



As for what you can expect? A quick perusal of their Facebook page reveals winning dishes like mac and cheese, fried okra, potato salad, sweet corn nuggets, oxtail, and more. For dessert, there's Strawberry Cheesecake Crunch, Red Velvet Cream Cake, Bread Pudding Cheesecake, and more, along with the aforementioned peach cobbler delight.



As one happy customer put it in his review, "There is absolutely no food anywhere as fantastic as this food made with love by some of the sweetest people in Fort Pierce."

  4. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, combining thoroughly in between. With the mixer still running, add the lemon juice. (batter will look curdled, but it's not). Add one third of the dry ingredients and ½ cup of the buttermilk. Mix, then stop and scrape the sides of the bowl. Repeat, adding another third of the dry ingredients and the remaining ½ cup buttermilk. Mix, then stop and scrape. Add the remaining third of the dry ingredients and mix until completely combined and the batter is light and fluffy.

  6. While the cakes are cooling, make the strawberry buttercream frosting. Combine the butter and powdered sugar in a large bowl or standing mixer. Mix together on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the milk and strawberries and mix on high speed until the frosting is very fluffy and pale pink in color, with flecks of strawberry.
  7. Invert one of the cake rounds onto a cake plate; generously spread with frosting and top with strawberry slices. Repeat with the remaining layer of cake and frosting. Frost the sides of the cake. Put in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set. Serve at room temperature.

Banana Pudding Cheesecake

This is one of my Best Dessert recipes Banana Pudding Cheesecake. These Banana Pudding Cheesecake Bars are irresistible!! A banana blondie crust gets topped with creamy banana pudding cheesecake creating one of the most delicious cheesecake recipes ever!! 

  • Prep Time: 15m  
  • Cook Time: 10m  
  • Total Time: 25m  
  • Yield: 6–8


INGREDIENTS

For the crust


  • 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) + 5 tablespoons salted butter, melted


Cheesecake Filling


  • 4 (8 ounce) packages full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature 
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package banana cream instant pudding powder
  • 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, or vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract


Extra Toppings/Garnishes


  • Banana cream pudding- optional
  • Mini nilla wafers- optional
  • Fresh banana coins- optional
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish- optional


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by fitting it with parchment paper with enough paper hanging over the sides to ensure easy lifting; and then spray it with baking spray for extra measure. Then set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter together. Use your hands (with disposable gloves, if desired) to bring everything together until it begins to feel like wet sand. Empty the crumb mixture into the prepared baking pan and use your hands/bottom of a measuring cup to firmly press the mixture tightly onto the bottom of the pan.
  3. Bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes. Then set it aside while you make the filling.


Cheesecake Filling


  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese together until silky smooth. Then add in the brown sugar and continue beating until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the banana cream instant pudding powder and heavy cream together. Use a whisk to combine the mixture together until the pudding powder dissolves- it’s okay if it is not completely smooth. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the cream cheese and continue beating together until everything is combined with no visible lumps present. Then add in the vanilla bean paste and almond extract, and beat again to fully combine.
  3. Pour the cheesecake filling directly on top of the cooled crust. The cheesecake batter should be thick, use an offset spatula to smooth the filling out evenly in the pan. Cover the baking pan carefully with plastic wrap or foil and transfer the pan into the refrigerator to let the cheesecake set overnight for at least 8 hours or ideally for 12 hours (for best results).


Serving


  1. Take the cheesecake out of the refrigerator and carefully lift the parchment paper sides out. Place the cheesecake onto a large enough plate or board. Then use a large knife to cut it into squares- I like to run my knife under hot water in between slicing to ensure clean/neat cuts. 
  2. Garnish the cheesecake squares with a dollop of banana cream pudding, mini nilla wafers, banana coins, and fresh mint leaves, if desired. Enjoy!


NOTES

  1. Storing: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, covered/without garnishes, for up to one week. You can also freeze the cheesecake bars for 3 weeks.
  2. Please read the blog post in its entirety for more tips + tricks.

Butterscotch Cake with Caramel Icing

Friday, June 4, 2021

 This Salted Caramel Butterscotch cake is one of the best cakes I’ve ever eaten!

Butterscotch Cake with Caramel Icing


I found this Butterscotch cake is a collection of my Great-Grandmother’s old recipe cards. I love to try out these vintage recipes because they are often for goodies that nobody seems to make anymore. I have never heard of Butterscotch cake, so I thought I’d try it out. Pairing it with the caramel icing (a separate recipe found among the old cards) was my idea – I have no idea which frosting she would have put with this cake. I love the icing even more than the cake itself, and I think next time I will try it with a standard butter cake.


Caramel Icing is a wonderful treat and another one of those old things that fell out of favor but now is making a comeback. It actually tastes more like penuche or praline candy than the gooey caramel we think of nowadays. It dries and sets into a coating that is very different from other types of frosting – not fluffy or creamy, but almost like a thin layer of brown sugar fudge on a cake!


This Butterscotch cake is one of the best cakes I’ve ever eaten! The dreamy brown butter frosting is the perfect addition to the rich butterscotch cake. The whole cake is covered with a salted caramel drizzle. You can’t deny the salted caramel and butterscotch flavors in this perfect fall inspired cake Caramel Icing is a wonderful treat and another one of those old things that fell out of favor but now is making a comeback.


To Make this Recipe You’Il Need the following ingredients:

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Cup Buttermilk


How to make it:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour (or line with parchment) two 9″ or three 6″ round pans.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium until fluffy. Add vanilla, then add eggs one at a time, beating on low just until they are mixed in.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Starting with the flour mixture, add the flour and the buttermilk (alternating one then the other) into the sugar/egg mixture on low speed. When everything is mixed in, scrape down the bowl by hand.
  4. Pour batter into the pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  5. Cool before frosting.


Caramel Icing:

  • 1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon flour
  • 1/4 cup butter (plus 2 tablespoons for later)
  • 1/4 Cup Milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla


Steps:

  1. In a small saucepan, mix together all ingredients except the vanilla and the extra 2 Tablespoons of butter. Heat over medium and bring to a boil. Stirring frequently to prevent burning, let the mixture boil for a good one minute. (I actually use a candy thermometer and let it reach 238 degrees, but if you don’t have one, just make sure you boil it for a good solid minute).
  2. Take off the fire and add in the vanilla and the 2 Tablespoons butter. Cool the mixture, occasionally giving it a vigorous stir, until it is still warm (but not HOT) and has thickened enough to spread. Spread it over the cake, moving fairly quickly because it will set as it cools. It will be a thin coating, not a thick layer. Let it set completely before cutting into the cake.

Pineapple Cake with Cheese Cake Filling

No comments

Friday, May 28, 2021


 PINEAPPLE CAKE WITH CHEESE CAKE FILLING 


Ingredients :

  • 1 super moist yellow cake mix
  • 1 tablespoon pineapple juice
  • 1 egg
  • milk
  • butter, melted


Directions :

Follow the directions on any super moist yellow cake mix you choose (I like Duncan Hines), however, replace the oil in the recipe and use melted butter instead. Replace the water in the recipe and use whole milk instead. Add one more large egg than the directions call for, and add the tablespoon of pineapple juice. Then follow the directions for baking. Pour batter into two greased 6 inch cake pans. Bake as directed on box or until cake tester comes out clean when inserted in the center of cakes.


  • Once the two cakes have finished baking, allow them to cool completely.
  • No Bake Cheese Cake Filling
  • 3 (8oz each) packages cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 2/3 cups plus 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons pure vanilla extract


In the electric mixer on high speed whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and set aside. Then in another bowl, on medium speed, mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until light and creamy. Fold in the whipped cream.


Cake Assembly


  1. Make cake as directed and cool completely. Slice the two cakes in half lengthwise through the middle, using a long serrated knife. Set all four of the cake layers aside.
  2. Place your bottom layer on a plate. It should be evenly flat on top. Pour and spread some of the cheesecake filling on bottom layer. Top with a second cake layer that should be evenly flat as well. Pour and spread some of the cheesecake filling on second layer. Add a third layer making sure it is also evenly flat on top. With a flat spatula spread the remaining filling on top and all around the sides cake.
  3. Next, place a pineapple ring on top of cake and gently press down into filling. Make fine crumbs out of the final layer you did not use by using a food processor. Apply cake crumbs to the sides of cake. Top with a maraschino cherry for an added garnish!
