STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE ROLL CAKE


For the Cake:
3 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all purpose flour
Powdered sugar to aid in rolling

For the Filling and Topping:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
1 pound fresh strawberries plus more for topping, if desired

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 10x15” or 10.5x15” cake/jelly roll pan with foil and spray with floured nonstick cooking spray.
2. Place eggs in a large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat at medium speed with mixer for 5 minutes until foamy and yellow. Add sugar and mix for 2 more minutes, until the mixture is thickened slightly. Mix in oil, baking powder, salt, and vanilla, then add flour and mix slowly until just combined. Pour into prepared pan, spreading as needed with a spatula. Tap the pan twice on the counter to release air bubbles, then bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the top is browned and the cake springs back when touched lightly. (Mine took 12 minutes, but all ovens differ.)
3. While the cake is baking, lay out a clean kitchen towel onto the counter. Spread with about 1/4 cup powdered sugar.
4. Remove the hot cake from the oven and carefully, using oven mitts so you don’t burn yourself, flip the cake onto the towel. This might make a mess, but that’s okay. Carefully remove the pan and foil (they’re hot!) and then, using the towel, roll up the cake from the short side. The towel will be rolled into the cake. Let this cool completely before continuing.
5. Make the filling: place cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer. Use mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar until it’s smooth and fluffy, then beat in vanilla. Slowly add the heavy whipping cream, then turn the mixer up to high and beat until stiff peaks form.
6. To fill cake: wash and dry the berries very well. Slice about 3/4 of the pound into small pieces, then pat the pieces dry. Carefully unroll the cake. Spread with some of the whipped cream mixture and top with the chopped strawberries. Carefully roll the cake back up as tight as possible, unsticking it from the towel as you go. Wrap the cake roll in plastic wrap and chill until ready to top and serve.
7. To serve: frost with remaining whipped cream and remaining berries. I used a 1M tip

OREO CHEESECAKE BITES

Note: Prepare to make this everyday after you make it because they are addicting. I have never made cheesecake anything before this. It isn't like your traditional cheesecake where you would need the pan. Ingredients: 36 OREO Cookies, divided 1/4 cup butter or margarine, divided 4 pkg. (8 oz. each) of cream cheese, softened 1 cup sugar 1 cup sour cream 1 tsp. vanilla 4 eggs 1/2 pound (8 oz) chocolate candy coating  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. 2. Line a 13x9" baking pan with foil, with ends extending over sides. Finely crush 24 cookies (I placed them in a food processor and crushed them finely). Melt 1/4 cup butter; mix with crumbs. Press onto bottom of prepared pan. 3. Beat softened cream cheese and sugar with mixer until blended. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each just until blended. Chop remaining 12 Oreo cookies. Gently stir into batter; pour over crust. 4. Bake for about 45 minutes or until center is almost set.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT AND PRETZEL BRITTLE

Ingredients:  1 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons light corn syrup or golden syrup 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 cup broken-up chunks of thin salted pretzels 3/4 cup roasted salted peanuts 3/4 to 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips Directions:  1. Either grease a large cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Get all of your other ingredients ready; you’re going to need to add them quickly in a few minutes, and you won’t have time to hunt and measure.  2. Combine sugar, corn or golden syrup and water in a medium saucepan, stirring just until sugar is wet. Attach a candy thermometer and heat over medium-high heat, without stirring, until mixture reaches between 300 and 305 degrees F. If you don’t have a candy thermometer, you’re looking for a small amount of the mixture dropped into cold water to separate into hard, brittle threads. This takes exactly 9 minutes on my stove. 3. Remove from heat and quickly sti...
