There is not a pairing more fit for each other, especially now that the strawberries are ripening and the weather is warming.

Whether you use four layers or two, the one thing remains\u2014it pairs beautifully with <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/champagne-taittinger-brut-la-francaise\/\">Taittinger Champagne.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I\u2019ve learned anything in ten years of pairing wine with food, it\u2019s that <strong>quality outshines quantity<\/strong>, and yes, <strong>Champagne does go with everything, especially dessert<\/strong>. Taittinger has become the go-to in my household since it\u2019s easy to find at most markets and shops, and has a bright and lively palate with charming bubbles that keeps us coming back for more. It makes for an excellent any-time Champagne and pairs perfectly with desserts. It\u2019s bold enough to hold its own yet not overpowering to make you forget your slice of strawberry cream cake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15360\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15360\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15360\" src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-4.jpg\" alt=\"Strawberry Cream Cake with Taittinger Champagne 4\" width=\"850\" height=\"1082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-4.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-4-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-4-804x1024.jpg 804w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-4-118x150.jpg 118w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-4-768x978.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-4-175x223.jpg 175w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-4-450x573.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15360\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Use freeze-dried strawberries to make the flavors of this layer cake pop, and pair with Champagne<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This strawberry cream cake is incredibly simple. The most important ingredient you\u2019ll need to have on hand is <strong>freeze-dried strawberries<\/strong> (not dried and not fresh). Cakes are especially susceptible to becoming rubbery with too much moisture. The way we avoid this from happening is by removing any unnecessary moisture while still adding flavor. Hence the freeze-dried strawberries. They also make for a fun way to add some panache to the top.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The cake is flavored with strawberries two ways<\/strong>: first, in the batter with the addition of \u00bc cup of pulverized, freeze-dried strawberries; and second, in the frosting with \u00bd cup of pulverized, freeze-dried strawberries. You can add or subtract as much strawberry as you want. I will say, the \u00bc cup in the batter was pretty light on flavor. I was worried about the color of the cake changing dramatically but you could do more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To add even more strawberry flavor, you could lightly sprinkle the pulverized freeze-dried strawberry in between each layer of cake after frosting. It would add for a beautiful stripe of color and more strawberry flavor.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your grocery store doesn\u2019t carry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traderjoes.com\/home\/products\/pdp\/freeze-dried-strawberries-080665\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">freeze-dried strawberries<\/a>, you can always order online, but I\u2019ve found that most have it in the dried fruit and nut aisle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This cake is pure delight in every bite. The cream cheese frosting adds a light \u201czing\u201d that pairs perfectly against the crisp flavors of Taittinger Champagne. It will be the perfect ending to your Easter brunch or dinner.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, the recipe halves nicely and the finished cake (frosting included) freezes really well for future dessert needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15355\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15355\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15355 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-2.jpg\" alt=\"Strawberry Cream Cake with Taittinger Champagne\" width=\"350\" height=\"525\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-2.jpg 350w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-2-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strawberry-Cream-Cake-with-Taittinger-Champagne-2-175x263.jpg 175w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 350px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 350\/525;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15355\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strawberry Cream Cake paired with Taittinger Champagne<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Strawberry Cream Cake<\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ingredients:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the Cake:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a02 Cups of Cake Flour\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Tsp salt\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 Tsp Baking Powder<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00bc cup pulverized freeze-dried strawberry\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 Large Eggs, room temperature\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 cups granulated sugar\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 TBSP Vanilla Extract\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Cup Whole Milk\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 TBSP unsalted butter, cut into cubes\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1\/3 cup vegetable oil (or canola oil)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the Frosting<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Stick unsalted butter at room temperature<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16 ounces of cream cheese at room temperature<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 TSP vanilla extract\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 pounds of confectioners sugar<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00bd-1 cup pulverized freeze dried strawberries\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instructions:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the Cake:\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preheat oven to 325\u00b0F with a rack in the center of the oven.

This first pass of adding frosting is called a \u201ccrumb coat\u201d and will be how we can get a smooth and perfect finish on our cake edges. A crumb coat should be light so that you see edges of the cake but \u201cfill in\u201d any gaps that the layers may have created so that it\u2019s a solid foundation for a smoothing coat next.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place in fridge for half hour to let the crumb coat set.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When set, add a generous portion of frosting to all sides of cake. Using your offset spatula to get an even edge around all sides. For remaining frosting, you may find it fun to add a pearl edge (as seen here), or use a tip to create floral motif throughout. Sprinkle any remaining strawberry powder on the cake as desired.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I relish in the predictability of pairing Champagne with strawberries.
