Both agar and kanten are healthy vegetarian alternatives to gelatin, which is commonly used in the West and made from animal parts. Traditional Japanese food recipes often call for agar, a different but similar jelling agent made from algae, instead of kanten. Take a look at this summer veggie tofu gelee. Especially during the summertime – as jelly dishes have cooling properties – it is common to see seasonal ingredients turned into jellied meals and snacks. Not only does Japanese food culture use jellying for desserts, which are usually visually stunning and sweet (check out this raindrop cake), but jellying gives substance to savory recipes as well. Japan food recipes that require jellying are far more extensive than what you will find in the West. This is a masterpiece that will have friends and family clamoring for seconds. I am a HUGE fan of this recipe, Rhoda, and I will be back to your blog for other things Southern! Thank you.Recipe and video for sweet and creamy strawberry milk kanten, an authentic Japanese dessert recipe that uses fresh seasonal fruit and traditional jellying techniques. I know I’ll make this again, but I suspect next time I will make the cake alone and forgo the icing. My teeth hurt, but my bellybutton smiled. It made the icing easier to use but it also made it so sweet that my teeth hurt. I also made the icing as it calls for, but ended up needing more powdered sugar to help thicken it a little. Both of these were already in my pantry, so I didn’t have to go to the store. I made this cake exactly as the recipe calls for with two exceptions - I used a golden cake mix instead of white, and I used low-calorie strawberry jello. I had most of the stuff already in my pantry. Being Southern myself, I was drawn to your recipe for two reasons - first, the food in the South will usually give you mouthgasms and secondly, this was so darn easy that I figured it would cure my itch for strawberry cake. Strawberry is not my favorite flavor, but for some reason I have been hankering for a strawberry cake. It might taste from scratch, but it’s very easy to make and super delicious if you like strawberries! Feel free to pin this one too, I love that it’s been shared so many times! The sweetness is delicious and has such strawberry flavor. Invite some friends over and let them eat strawberry cake. Let it drip down the cake and then add a dollop of strawberries on top for garnishment. I’ve read to add more powdered sugar to thicken up icing, so I would use less strawberries and more powered sugar to make the icing thicker. I used this icing recipe as I found it online, but the icing needs to be tweaked, it does make a lot of icing (almost too much) and the icing is very runny as is. Please note that the icing is not a hard icing at all, it’s runny and if you leave out some of the strawberries it should be less runny so be aware of that. The icing is runny and not a hard icing, but it’s very yummy! Mixed up the frosting, which is butter, cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and strawberries. Layer cakes have never been my specialty so I did the sheet cake version. You could also make this as a layer cake too in round cake pans, I’m sure, if you wanted to. Then add the cup of fresh pureed strawberries. Then you add some other ingredients to the cake batter mix, along with 4 eggs. The recipe calls for a white cake mix, so I bought a Duncan Hines French Vanilla. I had leftovers for adding to the top too, so the strawberry flavor is pretty intense. One cup in the batter and one cup in the icing. I pureed the strawberries and used about 3 cups fresh strawberries in this cake. We didn’t do that back then, but now recipes can be printed easily. So, I’m reprising the strawberry cake recipe today, which I’m also updating on a printable recipe page. Small world, after all!Īfter bringing all these beautiful fresh strawberries back from Florida, I had to make another one of these strawberry cakes. Yep, it was from MY blog from 6 years ago and I had to laugh. She was looking for a strawberry cake recipe and her daughter found one on Pinterest and sent it to her. One of my friends I went to college with sent me a funny note recently.
