VANILLA SHEET CAKE (recipe below) 🥳 this cake i

VANILLA SHEET CAKE (recipe below) 🥳 this cake is packed with vanilla flavor, SO soft and fluffy, fun to decorate, and ideal for feeding a crowd. It makes me so nostalgic for my childhood birthday cakes!!

Full recipe (w/ frosting!) at https://sugarandsparrow.com/vanilla-sheet-cake-recipe/

INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 Cups (265g) sifted cake flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 Cup (170g) unsalted butter, room temp
1 3/4 Cup (340g) granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temp
1/2 Cup (120g) sour cream, room temp
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 Cup (240ml) whole milk, room temp

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and line a 9×13 baking dish.
2. Add the sifted cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer and large bowl), beat the butter on high speed for two minutes until creamy. Add the sugar and continue to beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and paddle as needed. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing for about 10-15 seconds after each addition. Add the vanilla and sour cream and mix for one minute on high speed.
4. Turn the mixer off and add the dry ingredients all at once. Mix on low speed until just combined, then add the milk in a steady stream and mix until just incorporated.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake springs back to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the baking dish until room temperature, then frost with vanilla buttercream.

Finally cracked the code on this marbled strawberry no-bake cheesecake!! 🍓it’s a classic tangy no-bake cheesecake marbled with strawberry reduction on top of a buttery graham cracker crust. The key is mixing some of the cheesecake filling with the jammy strawberry reduction before swirling the two flavors together, then refrigerate overnight and the filling is velvety and mousse-like with the perfect pops of strawberry flavor.

Full recipe on my blog at https://sugarandsparrow.com/strawberry-shortcake-ice-cream-cake/

STRAWBERRY CRUNCH
24 whole (280g) Golden Oreos, finely ground
3 Oz box strawberry jello
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

ICE CREAM LAYERS
1/2 Cup (15g) freeze-dried strawberries
2 Cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract, divided
14 Oz sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 tsp strawberry jam or preserves

1. Combine the strawberry crunch ingredients and bake on a lined cookie sheet at 350ºF for 4 min.
2. For the crust, combine 1 Cup of the strawberry crunch with 2 Tbsp melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan and line with an acetate collar. Place in the freezer while you move on.
3. Using a food processor, grind the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder. Set aside.
4. Add the heavy whipping cream and 2 tsp of vanilla extract into a chilled bowl, then whip it with a hand mixer to stiff peaks. Place in the refrigerator.
5. Divide the condensed milk between two medium bowls. To one bowl, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla. To the second bowl, add the finely strawberry powder and the jam/preserves. Whisk the ingredients together within each individual bowl.
6. Divide the whipping cream evenly between each of the two bowls you created in the previous step. Fold each sweetened condensed milk mixture together with the divided whipped cream to create the vanilla ice cream and strawberry ice cream.
7. Layer half of each of the ice creams on top of the strawberry crunch crust, sprinkle a layer of strawberry crunch on top, then repeat. Freeze for 6 hours and serve.
