Strawberry Shortcake Shooters Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • White Cake:
  • Set rack at the middle level in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Butter the bottom of one 13- by 9- by 2-inch pan. Line bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Combine egg whites, milk and vanilla extract. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture then add half the milk mixture. Continue to alternate beginning and ending with flour mixture. Scape the bowl and beater often.
  • Pour the batter into prepared pan(s) and smooth top with metal spatula. Bake cake(s) about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean. Cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack, remove paper and let cool completely.

  • Strawberry Compote:
  • In a medium noncreative saucepan, combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium-high heat until compote thickens slightly and just coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Cool.

  • Bavarian Cream:
  • Put the split vanilla bean in cream and slowly bring to a boil. Turn off heat and let sit for 1 hour.
  • Remove bean and scrape out seeds, add them to the cream and discard the pod. Sprinkle the gelatin into the milk and set aside.
  • Whisk the sugar and egg yolks together. Warm the cream mixture back up and slowly whisk into eggs. Place mixture over simmering water and stir until it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooded spoon. Remove from heat and add milk and gelatin mixture.
  • Place bowl in ice bath and stir until at room temperature. Fold in whipped cream and chill until ready to use.
  • ~
  • Assembly:
  • Cut cake into small cubes (or crumble it into small pieces). Pipe bavarian cream into bottom of 48 shot glasses. Add a few bits of cake, add about 2 tablespoons of strawberry compote, making sure to get some of the syrup drizzled on the cake. Pipe or yop with a spoonful of whipped cream. Serve immediately, or store chill until ready to serve, for up to 1 hour.
