Strawberry Icebox Cake



Strawberry Icebox Cake
Rounding out this week’s 4th of July dessert group is this simple and delicious dessert that you can throw together in less than thirty minutes. Icebox cakes are about as easy as it gets; sculpt, chill, serve and enjoy the compliments.


A few notes:
  • To simplify this icebox cake further I used Cool Whip instead of making my own whipped cream.
  • For the flavor I used fresh strawberries and pureed them, but any type of berry or fruit will work.
  • For ease of layering, I used a pastry bag to pipe the strawberry whipped cream layer.
  • This can be assembled two days in advance (up to the point prior to frosting) and kept tightly wrapped in plastic.


Strawberry Icebox Cake

Makes an 8X8-inch cake | Preparation: Line an 8×8-inch cake pan with plastic wrap overlapping all the sides by at least one inch all around.


Ingredients:


  • 6 cups (16oz. container) of Cool Whip, divided use
  • 2 cups pureed strawberries (about 4-5 cups of whole strawberries)
  • 12 graham crackers


Instructions:
  1. Place 4 cups of Cool Whip in a bowl and gently fold in the pureed strawberries.
  2. Place graham crackers on bottom of cake pan. Pipe approximately one and a half cups of strawberry/Cool Whip mixture on top. Use a spatula to smooth out the whipped cream surface. Continue layering, by alternating graham crackers and whipped cream until the cake is completed. Move the cake to the freezer and chill for at least 30mins.
  3. Remove the cake from freezer and cut in half. Stack the cut portions one on top of another for a tall, narrow cake. Alternately, keep the cake as originally assembled for a 8×8-inch square cake. Finish by frosting the cake with the remaining two cups of Cool Whip.

VANILLA PEACH COFFEE CAKE!!

Did you know that the fruit this summer is supposed to be the best it has been in years? Apparently, fruit loves hot weather. I personally have eaten more peaches and cherries this summer than I have in about five years just for that reason.  As I have been a little overzealous lately buying peaches and cherries I found myself with a few peaches that were going to be too ripe for me to eat on the same day. That is unless I wanted to have them for every meal plus a few snacks. So I decided to make this recipe for Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake.  Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake Adapted from  Allrecipes.com Batter: 2 eggs 1 C milk 1/2 C oil 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 C  sour cream 3 C flour 1 C sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda Topping: 5 or 6 large peaches, diced. 3 Tbsp. butter, melted 11/4 C brown sugar 1Tbsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. nutmeg 4 Tbsp. flour Vanilla Icing: 1 Tbsp. butter 1 tsp
