This recipe is based off of the Cassata cake that most people think of when they think of Cleveland is from <a href=\"https:\/\/corbosbakery.net\/cassata-cake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Corbo&#8217;s Bakery<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Layers of rum soaked Italian sponge cake are stacked with fresh strawberries and custard sandwiched between. Then the entire thing is &#8216;frosted&#8217; with a homemade whipped cream and topped with even more strawberries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By far one of the most complicated dessert cakes I have ever made, the end results are absolutely worth all of the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thestarvingchefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/strawberry-custard-cake.jpg\" alt=\"strawberry cassata cake\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-making-creme-patissiere\">Making Creme Patissiere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creme patissiere is similar to custard but thicker. It is used to create thick layers of custardy flavor that won&#8217;t soak into the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-here-s-what-you-ll-need\">Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>vanilla<\/li><li>half &amp; half<\/li><li>sugar<\/li><li>egg yolks<\/li><li>cornstarch<\/li><li>butter<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to simmer together the vanilla and half and half until it is just beginning to foam up. You don&#8217;t want a rolling boil but a low simmer to the liquid for best results when tempering the eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tempering-the-creme-patissiere\">Tempering the creme patissiere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a separate bowl the sugar, yolks and cornstarch are whisked into a thick paste. In order to combine the paste with the hot milk liquid the eggs first need to be tempered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I use a measuring cup to measure out about a half cup of hot liquid and then slowly pouring the hot liquid into the egg paste while whisking rapidly. You have to whisk fast so that the hot liquid doesn&#8217;t scramble the eggs. The end result should be a slightly warmed, more liquidy version of the eggs. It should not be clumpy or overly thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then slowly pour the egg liquid back into the simmering half and half while whisking. Continue to simmer until the liquid starts to thicken and become more like custard. Then add in the butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally we will add in the butter. Keep whisking as the butter melts until a smooth custard comes together and all of the butter is whisked in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there we will place a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the creme patissiere and press it gently down on top of the custard so that the plastic is in direct contact. You do not want the creme pat exposed to the air. Let the custard cool to room temperature and then place in the fridge to chill overnight. It will continue to thicken up as it cools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When ready, transfer the creme patissiere to a piping bag or a gallon baggie with the corner snipped for easy application to the cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thestarvingchefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cleveland-cassata-cake.jpg\" alt=\"strawberry custard cake\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-baking-italian-sponge-cakes\">Baking Italian Sponge Cakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Italian sponge cakes rely on egg whites whipped until stiff, but not dry, to achieve a light and airy texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-special-supplies\">Special Supplies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>9&#215;9 cake pans<\/strong> &#8211; this is the ideal size for the amount of batter we will be making<\/li><li><strong>parchment paper<\/strong> &#8211; pre-line the pans so that the cakes fall right out<\/li><li><strong>butter or cooking spray oil <\/strong>&#8211; butter is better but spray can be used in a pinch<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-here-s-what-you-need\">Here&#8217;s What You Need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>egg whites<\/strong> &#8211; at room temperature<\/li><li><strong>cream of tartar<\/strong> &#8211; this will help stabilize the egg whites<\/li><li><strong>sugar<\/strong> &#8211; along with the egg whites will create a sweet base<\/li><li><strong>cake flour<\/strong> &#8211; essential for an airy cake, don&#8217;t sub with All-Purpose if you can avoid it!<\/li><li><strong>baking powder<\/strong> &#8211; to assist with rise<\/li><li><strong>yolks<\/strong> &#8211; the other half to our whites, will be added to the cake batter directly<\/li><li><strong>lemon<\/strong> &#8211; for brightness<\/li><li><strong>canola oil<\/strong> &#8211; to make a smooth batter<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bake-that-cake\">Bake That Cake!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to baking our cakes, it&#8217;s best to do it low and slow. Bake the cakes at 325\u00b0F for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center or each cake comes out clean. The cake should just be starting to pull away from the sides of the pan when it is ready. Take care not to over-bake the cake or else it may be dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that the cooling process is just as important as the baking process! Let the cakes cool in their pans on a rack for about an hour then when the cakes are room temperature, flip them out of the pans and cool to room temperature. I then put the cakes back into their pans and tightly covered with plastic wrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make the cakes up to two days in advance. But no matter when you make them, they will need to be 100% chilled through on assembly day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thestarvingchefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/strawberry-custard-cake-cleveland.jpg\" alt=\"cleveland corbos cassata recipe\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the heck is &#8220;MACERATING&#8221; ???<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this recipe you will see me reference &#8220;macerating the strawberries.&#8221; We will be creating a liquid from the strawberries using a very simple method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First the strawberries need to be roughly chopped and diced. You will notice as you cut the strawberries that they release a bit of juice already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the strawberries are chopped up, I put mine into a strainer suspended over a large bowl. Then I sprinkled sugar over the top of the strawberries and let the process do its thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the strawberries draw in the sugar crystals, they will start to release a liquid. This liquid will drip through the strainer and into the bowl below &#8211; it should be the consistency of a sugary, strawberry flavored syrup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will use that syrup mixed with Grand Marnier to soak into our Italian sponge cakes &#8211; and the remaining strawberries will be spread onto each layer of cake below the creme patissiere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-make-the-best-whipped-cream\">Make the BEST Whipped Cream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The secret to making the perfect light and airy whipped cream is to use a metal bowl that has been chilled along with the whisk! They should be so cold that you have to use a towel to hold it as you whisk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-and-fun-tip\">And FUN TIP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I chilled my metal bowl in 8 inches of freshly fallen CLE-snow. True story. I will have to remake this cake just to get a pic this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thestarvingchefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cassata-cake-custard-strawberries.jpg\" alt=\"cleveland strawberry custard cake\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-assembling-the-cake\">Assembling the Cake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Assembling the cake is actually the least daunting part of this bake! I recommend using a cake turn to help ice the cake at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-special-tools\">Special Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Cake turn table<\/strong> &#8211; makes frosting a breeze<\/li><li><strong>flat dough scraper or cake scraper<\/strong> &#8211; to get the whipped frosting as even as possible<\/li><li><strong>piping bags <\/strong>&#8211; you can also use a gallon baggie with the corner snipped off in a pinch<\/li><li><strong>10&#215;10 cardboard cake board <\/strong>&#8211; use a round board to make it easy to move the cake around as needed<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-putting-it-all-together\">Putting it all together!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>IMPORTANT: Make sure everything is chilled 100% before assembly!<\/li><li>Slice each cake in half hortizontally to make 4 even layers.<\/li><li>Place a dab of whipped cream on the cake board in the middle to hold it in place, then put a dab on top of the board in the middle and place down the first layer of cake.<\/li><li>Brush the cake with the strawberry Grand Marnier syrup.<\/li><li>Spread a layer of strawberries<\/li><li>Pipe a layer of creme patissiere.<\/li><li>Place the second layer of cake.<\/li><li>Repeat with brushing, spreading and piping for the other layers until you have a stacked cake.<\/li><li>Use about a quarter of whipped cream to create a crumb coat on the cake then FREEZE for 20 minutes to set the crumb coat.<\/li><li>Pipe the rest of the whipped cream on the outside of the cake and use the cake turn table to get an even layer of whipped cream on the top and sides of the cake.
