Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Dessert on the menu? Try pairing with Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry

The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake: Preheat oven to 350 f. Grease and flour a 8x8-inch baking dish. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Whisk milk, vanilla and egg whites in a measuring cup. Using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add in the flour mixture and milk mixture alternately, thoroughly mixing after each addition (about 30 seconds). Give the batter a final stir with a rubber spatula and scrape into the prepared pan. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool the cake completely in the pan.
  2. Make the berry topping: In a saucepan, heat 1 1/2 c. of the frozen berries, 1 T. sugar, lemon juice and water over medium-low heat. Cover and cook until the strawberries are softened, about 10 minutes. Strain the liquid in to a bowl, reserving the solids, then whisk the Jell-O powder into the liquid. Let the syrup cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
  3. Using a skewer, poke 25-30 holes evenly into the cooled cake, twisting the skewer to make a clean hole, but being sure not to poke all the way through the bottom of the cake. Evenly pour the syrup over the top of the cake. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the gelatin is set, at least 3 hours.
  4. Pulse the reserved strawberry solids, 1 T. sugar and the remaining 1/2 c. berries in a food processor until it's a jam-like consistency. Spread this evenly over the chilled cake. In a medium bowl combine heavy cream, the remaining 2 t. of the strawberry Jell-O powder and 1 T sugar. Let it sit for a few minutes to dissolve the gelatin. Then beat the cream to soft peaks. Spread the whipped cream over the strawberries. Serve.
