Strawberry Shortcake Sheet Cake

Strawberry Shortcake Sheet Cake

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh strawberries

2 1/4 cups soft wheat self-rising flour 

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided

1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch cubes

1 cup whole buttermilk

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon)

1 2/3 cups heavy whipping cream, divided

1 tablespoon vanilla extract, divided

1 1/4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sanding sugar

1 (8-oz.) container mascarpone cheese

1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1.  Prepare strawberries:

Hull 1 pound of the fresh strawberries, and cut in half lengthwise; set aside. Hull and chop strawberries from remaining 1 pound berries to measure 1 cup; set aside. (Reserve remaining whole berries for another use.)

Step 2.  Make shortcake batter:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 13- x 9-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Whisk together self-rising flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and ½ cup of the granulated sugar in a large bowl. Cut cold butter cubes into flour mixture until butter pieces are evenly coated and pea size. Gently fold in buttermilk, lemon zest, ⅔ cup of the whipping cream, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla until mixture just comes together but is still lumpy. Gently fold in reserved chopped strawberries.

Step 3.  Bake cake:

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup dusted with all-purpose flour to prevent sticking, scoop slightly rounded dough mounds onto prepared baking sheet in 3 rows of 6 side-by-side mounds, continuing to flour scoop after each mound to prevent sticking. Brush dough mounds evenly with melted butter, and sprinkle with sanding sugar.

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 28 to 32 minutes. Transfer baking sheet with shortcake to a wire rack, and cool 10 minutes. Transfer shortcake to wire rack; cool completely, about 1 hour.

Step 4. Prepare strawberry topping:

Meanwhile, stir together halved strawberries and remaining ¼ cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl, and let stand until berries start to release their juices, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 5.  Make The Whipped Topping

Make whipped mascarpone topping:

Gently stir together mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla in a separate medium bowl until just combined. Pour remaining 1 cup whipping cream into a separate large bowl, and beat with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on high speed until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture until just combined.

Step 6. Finish and Serve

Spread whipped cream-mascarpone mixture over top of cooled shortcake, leaving edges exposed.  T

Top with strawberry mixture and any accumulated juices.

Slice evenly into 12 pieces, and serve immediately.

Cute Heart Shaped Strawberry Pies

Buttery and flaky delicious...and oh so cute! These mini pies would be perfect for a bridal shower. Made with your favorite pie crust recipe (or store-bought pastry dough) and a jar of strawberry pie filling, these little heart-shaped mini pies are almost as easy as they are adorable. 

Ingredients

Pie Crust - homemade or store bought crust

Strawberry Pie Filling. Makes these little hand pies as easy as can be. If you don’t love strawberries, you could also go with cherry, apple, or even blueberry 

Lemon Zest. Jazzes up the store-bought filling with a little extra brightness.

Egg. A brush of egg wash creates a nice seal and gives the tops some shine.

Turbinado Sugar. For a finishing flourish of sparkling sugar.  If you don’t have turbinado sugar you can make your own substitute: Blend half brown sugar and half white sugar to replace the full amount of turbinado sugar.

The Directions

Stir together the pie filling and lemon zest. Set aside.

Roll out the two pie crusts to a 1/8-inch thickness.

Cut out 24 to 28 hearts from the rolled crusts using a heart-shaped cookie cutter.

Beat the egg, then lightly brush over half of the hearts.

Top the center of each heart with strawberry filling.

Top each with one of the reserved hearts, gently pressing the edges together with your fingers.

Use the tines of a fork to press around the edges of each heart to seal and cut two small slits in the top of each heart to vent.

Brush the tops with additional egg, then sprinkle with turbinado sugar.

Bake, on a parchment-lined baking sheet, until golden and bubbling.

Remove and let cool completely. ENJOY!
