Ingredients
Cake
4 1/2 cups cake flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup + 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs + 1 egg white
3/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange extract (optional)
3/4 cup + 6 tablespoons milk
Strawberry Frosting
3 cups heavy cream
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2-3 pints strawberries, finely chopped (= about 2 cups chopped strawberries)
Instructions
Cake
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare 3 round cake pans by spraying liberally with non-stick
cooking spray.
2. Sift together cake flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
3. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar together until smooth and
fluffy. Slowly add the eggs and mix well until combined.
4. Stir in sour cream, vanilla and optional orange extract, and mix well until combined.
5. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add half of the flour mixture. Stir until fully incorporated. Scrape
the sides of the bowl again and stir in the milk.
6. Add the remaining flour, and stir until the flour is fully incorporated. Scrape the sides and bottom of
the bowl and give it one last stir.
7. Divide the batter into 3 prepared, round baking pans.
8. Bake in 325 degree oven for about 35 minutes. Cakes are done when tops spring back with a light
touch, or a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely
before turning over onto a plate or baking rack.
Frosting
1. In your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, (or with a hand held mixer) beat the heavy cream
until stiff peaks are formed. Set aside, preferably in the fridge. (If you have two bowls for your stand
mixer, leave it in the bowl, if not, transfer to another bowl before placing in the fridge).
2. Fit the paddle attachment on your mixer and beat cream cheese on high until light and fluffy,
scraping the sides a couple of times. Add the vanilla and sugar and beat on medium until fully
incorporated.
3. Stir in chopped strawberries on low speed. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Gently fold in the
whipped cream with a spatula until well combined.
Assembly
1. Place the first cake layer on your serving platter and frost just the top with the strawberry frosting
(about 1/2" or so thick). Repeat with the next two layers, then frost the sides with an offset spatula
(the long and skinny kind). Smooth top and sides until even, then top with sliced strawberries for
garnish, if desired.

Serves: 8
Ingredients
o 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
o ¼ cup sugar (see note - you may not need this)
BISCUITS:
o 2 cups all-purpose flour
o 2 tablespoons sugar, more for sprinkling
o 3 teaspoons baking powder
o ½ teaspoon salt
o 1 cup heavy whipping cream
o ½ cup butter, melted (plus 1 tablespoon melted butter for top of biscuits)
o ½ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
o Whipped cream, optional
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, combine strawberries and sugar; cover and refrigerate until serving. You only need the sugar if you want to make a strawberry sauce. You can also just omit the sugar and used sliced strawberries.
2. For the biscuits: In a large bowl, combine flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk gently. Add the cream and ½ cup melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
3. Drop ? cup portions of batter onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. You do not want to overbake them or they will be dry. If you bake them until they just turn golden brown the middle will still be moist. Remove to wire racks to cool (or serve them slightly warm).
4. Cut biscuits in half horizontally. Top with whipped cream and strawberries. Add biscuit tops and more whipped cream and strawberries. Serve immediately.
Notes
You only need the sugar if you want to make a strawberry sauce. You can also just omit the sugar and used sliced strawberries.

*If your breading is white in some places after you flip your chicken, this simply means it did not come in contact with the butter. The chicken will still taste great exactly as is or you can lightly spray with cooking spray and proceed to broil.

Garlic Beef and Veggie Ramen is an easy 30-minute dinner recipe that is so much better than take-out!
OPTIONAL: marinade the meat. Toss together 1/4 cup soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Very thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4th inch thick strips and then into 2 inch pieces. Place the steak pieces in the marinade and set out at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. OR cover tightly and place in the fridge for up to 8 hours. If you want this to be a true 30-minute dinner, skip this step!
While the meat is marinating, prep and cook the veggies. Place 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok and add in the sliced mushrooms, snap peas, shredded carrots, and chopped red bell pepper. Cook over medium high heat until crisp tender and transfer to a bowl/plate.
Remove the meat and drain off any remaining marinade. Toss the meat to coat with the cornstarch in a large plastic bag. Alternatively use your fingers to work the cornstarch into the meat. Make sure all of the meat is well coated in cornstarch.
Add another tablespoon of oil. Heat until the oil is shimmering and then add in 1/2 the beef so it can be in a single layer. Cook without moving until the beef is well seared, about 1-1/2 minutes. Continue cooking while stirring until the beef is lightly cooked but still pink in spots, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
Add in the last remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Add the remaining beef and cook without moving until the beef is well seared, about 1-1/2 minutes. Cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer the rest of the beef to the plate.
In that same skillet or wok, add in the sesame oil, remaining 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons soy sauce, beef stock or broth, remaining 1 and 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic, minced ginger, brown sugar* (add to your taste preference, we like a lot of sugar in this dish), and red pepper flakes.
Stir and cook (uncovered) over medium heat until sauce thickens a bit and reduces by about a third (about 10-12 minutes). You don't want to reduce it too much so it can still generously coat all the noodles & veggies.
In a small dish, whisk together remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 teaspoon water until smooth. Whisk into the sauce.
While the sauce is reducing, boil a small pot of water and cook the ramen noodles for exactly 2 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.
Add the cooked veggies, cooked meat, and drained ramen noodles into the sauce. Toss to coat and top with green onions. Add some cracked pepper and additional red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy immediately.
