FRESH STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM (recipe below) 🍓if yo

FRESH STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM (recipe below) 🍓if you’ve ever wondered how to make strawberry buttercream with fresh (or frozen) strawberries, this is the best way! I still think freeze-dried strawberries are the GOAT when it comes to flavoring frosting but this is a very close second 🙌🏼

Search “strawberry buttercream” at http://sugarandsparrow.com to find this recipe + the freeze-dried version ⁣
⁣⁣⁣
FRESH STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM⁣⁣⁣
YIELD: 2.5 Cups⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
INGREDIENTS:⁣⁣⁣
5 Oz (1 Cup) fresh strawberries, chopped ⁣⁣
1 Cup (226g) unsalted butter, room temp⁣⁣⁣
3 1/2 Cups (420g) powdered sugar⁣⁣⁣
pinch of salt⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
INSTRUCTIONS:⁣⁣⁣
1. Purée the strawberries in a food processor, then place in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until it becomes jam-like and has reduced by half. You’ll end up with about ¼ Cup of reduced purèe after this step. Let it cool completely to room temperature before moving on.⁣⁣⁣
2. With a hand mixer or paddle attachment on your stand mixer, beat the butter on medium-high until it’s creamy, about 5 minutes. Add the powdered sugar about a cup at a time and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. ⁣⁣⁣
3. Add the (room temperature!) reduced strawberry purèe and a pinch of salt. Continue mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and smooth.⁣⁣⁣

COOKIES & CREAM CAKE 🤎 every Oreo lover’s DREAM ca

COOKIES & CREAM CAKE 🤎 every Oreo lover’s DREAM cake: layers of soft and moist vanilla cake with chopped Oreo cookies baked inside + Oreo buttercream frosting. Sooo delicious and somehow just the right amount of Oreos 😍

Full recipe (with the Oreo buttercream) at https://sugarandsparrow.com/oreo-cookies-and-cream-cake/

INGREDIENTS:
10 Oreo cookies, chopped (107g)
2 Cups (210g) sifted cake flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 Cup (113g) unsalted butter, room temp
1 Cup + 2 Tbsp (225g) granulated sugar
2 Tbsp (30ml) vegetable oil
2 large eggs, room temp
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/3 Cup (80g) sour cream, room temp
3/4 Cup (180ml) whole milk, room temp

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC), then grease and line three 6-inch or two 8-inch cake pans.
2. Roughly chop the Oreos into pieces that are about 1/4 inch and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, add the sifted cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk to combine. Set aside.
4. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer and large bowl), cream the butter on high for two minutes. Add the sugar and vegetable oil and continue to mix on high for another two minutes, scraping down the bowl and paddle as needed. Add the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla and sour cream and mix for one minute on high speed.
5. Turn the mixer off and add the dry ingredients all at once. Mix on low speed until just combined, then add the milk and mix until just incorporated. Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once cooled, fill and frost with Oreo buttercream (full recipe at the link above).

BLACK FOREST SHEET CAKE 🍒 I had to try a sheet cak

BLACK FOREST SHEET CAKE 🍒 I had to try a sheet cake version of my beloved Black Forest layer cake and it did not disappoint!! It’s decadent chocolate sheet cake, homemade cherry filling (and cherry syrup made from the juice that gets brushed onto the cake!), and whipped cream frosting that keeps the cake so light + lets that chocolate cherry flavor shine ✨

WHIPPED CREAM CHEESE FROSTING ☁️ this easy 4-ingre

WHIPPED CREAM CHEESE FROSTING ☁️ this easy 4-ingredient whipped cream frosting is deliciously light, comes together SO easily, and is stabilized with cream cheese to make it the perfect thick consistency for filling and frosting cakes and cupcakes!! It’s so good with my strawberry shortcake sheet cake and berries & cream cake and I have a feeling I’m going to be whipping it up for many more summer cakes😍

Full recipe with cake pairing suggestions at https://sugarandsparrow.com/whipped-cream-cheese-frosting/

INGREDIENTS
1 Cup (8oz, 226g) full-fat brick-style cream cheese, cold
1 Cup (120g) powdered sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 Cups (600ml) heavy whipping cream, cold

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Chill the bowl of your stand mixer (or the large bowl you’ll be using with your hand mixer) into the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
2. Into the cold mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and beat on medium speed with the whisk attachment until creamy, 2 min. Add the powdered sugar and mix on low speed until mostly incorporated, then turn the mixer to medium-high speed and mix for 1 min.
3. Add the vanilla extract, then turn the mixer to medium-high speed and slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream (down the side of the bowl so it doesn’t fly everywhere). Once all the cream is added, continue mixing on medium-high for just about 30 seconds longer, keeping a close eye on the mixing bowl to watch it thicken. It should come together into a thick, silky frosting consistency at this point, where you can dip the whisk into the frosting and it holds a slight peak when you hold it upright.
4. Use the frosting immediately to decorate cakes and/or cupcakes for best results!
