EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Although strawberries are available year-round, their peak season is April to June. choose bright red berries that are firm to the touch, uniform in size and show no trace of white or green. Rinse them just before using.

Fresh raspberries can be used in place of the strawberries; orange peel can be used in place of the lemon peel.

Lemon pie filling can be used in place of the lemon curd.

A strawberry huller can be used to remove the stems and centers of strawberries. They are available at kitchen specialty stores.

Garnish each slice of this cake with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.

DELICIOUS!!!! I made this for Thanksgiving and it was gone!! As I was putting it together I was wondering why it was so much filling and I didn't put all of it in between the layers. A mistake... after the cake came out the fridge, and I cut into it I noticed that the filling setteled; but it was still good I just put a couple of spoon fUlls on the plate next to the strawberries. It was alot of steps, but well worth it!!! 100% of the people asays YES!!
