But I had trouble poking the holes in the cake to look like yours. Outside edge of cake was done and had no trouble but the closer I got to center the cake was still a little undone. I used a ceramic cake pan so maybe that was the problem? In any case it still turned out great and will definitely make this again. The recipe is a keeper!Skoodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16817418840923002516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679376249136878227.post-53294132235645359142021-03-05T21:44:41.493-08:002021-03-05T21:44:41.493-08:00Hi!

She didn't use the parchment paper when she made the cake.. The ugly pans mine and the pretty white pan is hers... I always use parchment for cake because I hate when it sticks and falls apart. She didn't seem to have an issue removing it from the pan.. I hope that helps! -SerenaSerena Bakes Simply From Scratchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497132642509064238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679376249136878227.post-44634178580314381682021-03-05T14:15:45.123-08:002021-03-05T14:15:45.123-08:00This looks great, and I would love to try it.

In the pictures you posted, it shows a metal pan lined with parchment paper for most of the recipe, but at the end, it shows a white pan with no parchment paper. Did you transfer the cake to a different, better looking pan at some point?

Your lemons might be larger or be a lot better then the lemons from the store.. You could always start with 1-2 teaspoons taste it and add more if needed. It shouldn't over power the strawberries.

For the topping, I combined 5ozs. of mascarpone cream cheese with about 1-1/4 cups of whipping cream, whipped them together with 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla exreact. I wanted the whipped cream topping to remain stable because there are only 2 of us in our household. We love this cake, it tastes exactly like strawberry shortcake! The cake recipe itself is just the taste and texture I was looking for. Winner!!! I made this cake on Sunday, today is Tuesday and the topping is holding up beautifully.

Wasn't sure what a packet of gelatin was equivalent to as we don't have this in New Zealand so used 2 teaspoons of plain gelatine and it set perfectly. Used plain whipping cream too. Was worried that it may be soggy after pouring the strawberry sauce on the cake but it wasn't. Put it in the fridge overnight to set.
