Did anyone try this recipe from last week's Ami?
How was it?
Also, it didn't say when to add the cream?

I am planning to make it... my sister-in-law brought it over when she came for shabbos and it was out of this world.... I can't count how many pieces I ate.... there was a correction in the next week's edition, saying to gently fold in the cream at the end- happy baking... enjoy!

Here is the recipe I was talking about... It was featured in Ami a few weeks ago, by Miriam Pascal.....

Ingredients:
½ cup pureed strawberries
½ cup whipping cream or parve whip
4 eggs
1 ¾ cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon strawberry extract
2-3 drops red food coloring (optional, but recommended)
½ cup oil
2 cups flour
1 package vanilla pudding mix
1 Tablespoon (3 teaspoons) baking powder

Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
1 ½ Tablespoons milk, parve whip or any parve milk substitute
1-2 Tablespoons water

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a bundt pan with baking spray (containing flour).

To puree strawberries: defrost frozen strawberries completely and puree in food processor until very smooth. Separate ½ a cup of it for the cake, and re-freeze the next for the future.

Whip the cream or pareve whip until stiff. Remove and set aside in a small bowl.

Beat the eggs and sugar until smooth and creamy, (2 min). Add the vanilla extract, strawberry extract and food coloring.Add the oil and reserved strawberry puree. Add the flour, pudding mix and baking powder, and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes,until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let cake cool for 10 minutes, and turn over onto a cake plate
Glaze:
In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and milk or milk substitute. Add the water, half a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a drizzling consistency.
When cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over it.

The correction said to fold the cream in at the end....

enjoy

I can't find strawberry extract anywhere. Any suggestions?

I bet almond extract should work nicely.

or (for a better quality product) go to a baking specialty store. That's where I get my high quality extracts (lemon, orange, chocolate, etc.)

Does this freeze well?

It freezes great - without the frosting.

Is there any substitute for pareve whipped cream that isn't full of chemicals?

Just bumping this up because I made it and it is heavenly.

I used peaches instead of strawberries, because there were no strawberries in the shop.

So it was a peaches and cream cake. And it was delicious. I'm saving this recipe for special occasions.

You can leave out the extract. I made it twice without the extract and it was great.

Yes. When done mixing add the whip and mix a bit.

You won't regret it. I usually am not one to go for cakes, I've had too many dry, tasteless recipes (even ones other people think are good) but this is AMAZING.

Sorry for being repetitive, but it is. I took it to my in-laws and they were very impressed Smile
