Malted Funfetti Cake with Strawberry Buttercream and Cookie Crumble

September 21, 2021 By Ashley 2 Comments

I’ve been really into baking with malted milk powder. It just has this deep and toasty flavor that lends so much depth and deliciousness to baked goods. Inspired by strawberry malt milkshakes, I created this malted funfetti cake with strawberry buttercream and cookie crumble. Strawberries and malted milk powder are so, so good together, this is my second recipe using them together within the past couple months. Fluffy and tender malted funfetti cake flecked with sprinkles, silky strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream and strawberry shortbread cookie crumble makes for a truly delicious cake that you will want to make on the regular.

Malted Funfetti Strawberry Cake

Malted Funfetti Cake

The base recipe of my malted funfetti cake is my go to vanilla cake, with the additional malted milk powder and sprinkles. This cake is mixed using the reverse creaming, or two stage method. Reverse creaming cakes have a tighter, more delicate and soft crumb. They tend to be more compact, with less of a rise compared to creamed cakes, and have a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Reverse creaming cakes can be delicate, so they are easiest to layer, carve, stack, etc. when they are chilled.

Strawberry Buttercream

Strawberry Swiss Meringue buttercream is fluffy, silky and so yummy. It reminds me a lot of strawberry ice cream – which is always a good thing, right? In this recipe, I use strawberry jam for the strawberry flavoring in the buttercream. You can also try the method I use for making strawberry Italian meringue buttercream by making your own concentrated jam first as used in my strawberry rose buttermilk cake.

Strawberry Cookie Crumbs

I really like adding crunchy elements to my cakes. I like the texture they add and it helps to add additional complementary flavors to the cake. The cookie crumbs for this recipe is a shortbread style crumble that is baked until golden and crispy. Once cool, freeze dried strawberries are crushed into the crumble and tossed to fully incorporate. This crumble is super yummy and even tastes amazing on ice cream, yogurt, etc.

Malted Funfetti Strawberry Cake

I baked my cakes in 2 – 2″ pans and torted them (or split them in half) to create 4 layers total. You want to make sure that the cake layers will be stable so I typically put down a thin layer of buttercream and then pipe a dam around the edge of the cake first before sprinkling on the cookie crumble. Then scoop additional buttercream on top of it, spreading it out to even it out with the dam. This ensures that the buttercream layers are even but also will make sure the layers are adhered properly and are stable, and not just sitting on the crumble.

Malted Funfetti Cake with Strawberry Buttercream and Cookie Crumble

Funfetti malted milk vanilla cake filled with strawberry malted cookie crumble and strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream
Prep Time30 mins
Cook Time1 hr
Course: Dessert
Servings: 3 8″ cakes

Ingredients

Malted Funfetti Vanilla Cake

  • 14 ounces (397g) cake flour
  • 14 ounces(397g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 cup malted milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 9 oz (255g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 ounces (85g) canola oil
  • 12 ounces (31g) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup sprinkles

Strawberry Buttercream

  • 1 batch prepared Swiss meringue buttercream
  • 1 – 1½ cups strawberry jam

Strawberry Cookie Crumble

  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoons malted milk powder
  • 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup freeze dried strawberries
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

Make Funfetti Malt Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 350F. Prepare your cake pans. Brush the bottoms and sides of your cake pans with melted butter. Line the bottoms and sides with parchment paper.
  • Combine the milk, oil, eggs, vanilla extract and vanilla extract in medium bowl. Whisk to thoroughly combine.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, malt powder and salt. On low speed, mix for 1 minute.
  • With the mixer still running, add in the softened butter pieces, one or two pieces at a time. Mix until the mixture resembles cornmeal. You should be able to gather a bit in your hand, squeeze and you have a solid piece. This means the butter is evenly distributed.
  • With the mixer still on low, pour in a small amount of the liquid ingredients (about 1/2 cup) and mix until the flour mixture is moistened.
  • Turn the mixer speed to medium (4 or 6) and beat for *two full* minutes. The mixture should be whipped up, thick, and lighter in color.
  • Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure everything is properly mixed.
  • With the mixer speed on low, add the remaining wet ingredients in three parts, scraping down the bowl after each addition has been mixed in.
  • Once all the wet ingredients have been incorporated, give the bowl a final scrape and mix with a spatula. Fold in the sprinkles.
  • Evenly divide the batter among the prepared pans.
  • Bake the layers for 35-45 minutes. Check the cake at 30-35 minutes to test for doneness. If a toothpick comes out clean, and the top of the cake feels springy and set when touched, take the cakes out.
  • Tap the cake once, firmly against the counter to remove excess steam. If your cakes dome at all, use a clean kitchen towel to gently push the domes down. Cool the cakes for 15 minutes in the pans.
  • Run a palette or butter knife around the cakes in their pans before turning them out to cool completely on cooling racks.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator a couple hours.

Strawberry Buttercream

  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the salted caramel sauce and the prepared Swiss meringue buttercream.
  • Mix on low until everything is incorporated and the buttercream is smooth.

Strawberry Cookie Crumble

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, malt powder and salt.
  • Pulse in the butter, pulsing until the dough forms clumps.
  • Turn the mixture in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet and break up some of the large pieces.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and, using a heatproof spatula, gently flip the mixture and bake for 10 more minutes.  Let tray cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • Let tray cool completely on a wire rack. Crumble in the freeze dried strawberries. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Assemble the Cake

  • Work with chilled cake layers. Using a long serrated knife torte the layers, cutting them evenly in half. You will have four cake layers total. The tops of the cakes will be the center two layers of your cake. If you made your cake in 3 pans, skip this step.
  • Put one of the cake layers, cut side up onto an 8" cake board or directly onto a cake stand.
  • Spread a thin, even layer of the buttercream on the cake layer with an offset spatula. Pipe a rim (or dam) of buttercream around the edge of the cake layer.
  • Sprinkle the strawberry cookie crumble on top of the cake layer. Pat into place.
  • Spread about one cup of the buttercream on top of the crumble using an offset spatula to evenly distribute the buttercream. You're looking for the buttercream to be about 1/4 inch thick total.
  • Place the second cake layer on top, top up, and press down gently so that the layer is adhered to the buttercream. Repeat steps 3-6.
  • Place the third cake layer on top, top up, and press down gently so that the layer is adhered to the buttercream. Repeat steps 3-6.
  • Place final cake layer on top and frost with the remaining buttercream. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Slice into pieces and serve.

Triple Berry Crumble Pie

April 30, 2021 By Ashley 1 Comment

One of the awesome things about this triple berry crumble pie is that you can make it any time of year. This pie is perfect with either fresh or frozen berries, or a combination of the two. Juicy, sweet tart raspberries, blackberries and blueberries are baked until bubbly in my go-to all butter pie crust. Then, to give this pie a bit more crunch and some cinnamon flavor, I topped it with a cinnamon crumble. Sort of like cobbler vibes in pie form. The smell of this baking pie is out.of.this.world. My triple berry crumble pie is one of my favorite any time of the year pies, but is my absolute favorite to make when the berries are at peak ripeness in the summer, and are super affordable.

Triple Berry Crumb Pie

About the all butter pie crust

Prepare the pie crust first. The dough will need to have some time to chill before baking. I used my all time favorite all butter pie crust. It’s a total keeper. I use it ALL the time. With any pie, be sure to keep the dough lined pie pan chilled while working on the topping and filling. This ensures that the crust won’t shrink, but also makes sure the butter doesn’t just melt out of the crust when baking. You can refrigerate the lined pie plate for 30 minutes, or chill it in the freezer for 10 minutes before baking.

Triple Berry Crumb Pie

The crumble topping

While the pie crust is chilling, make the crumble topping. The crumble does benefit from some time in the fridge, but it’s not necessary. I like to make the crumble in advance so that it is ready to go when the filling is done.

Flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt are combined in the bowl of a food processor. Cold, cubed butter is added and pulsed until the mixture forms large clumps, and the mixture is no longer sandy. Refrigerate the crumble if it is made in advance.

Triple Berry Crumb Pie

Triple Berry Pie Filling

This filling. So, so good. Along with the berries, the filling includes brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice and zest, tapioca flour, salt and (surprise) an apple. I learned this trick from Cook’s Illustrated. Adding in a shredded green apple helps to thicken up the filling due to the apple’s naturally high pectin content. I always put an apple in my berry pies. You can’t taste the apple as it takes on the flavor of the berries.

For the most concentrated flavor, and to help reduce the water content in the pie, I cook half of the berries and reduce the mixture by half. Once the berries are cooked down, set aside to cool just a bit. While the berries are cooling, place the remaining berries and ingredients into a large bowl. Peel, shred and wring out the apple, to remove any additional liquid, and add it to the bowl. Add in the cooked berries (they will still be hot) and stir completely. The filling should now be room temperature.

Triple Berry Crumb Pie

Assembling and baking

Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust. Sprinkle the crumble topping on top of the pie, breaking up really large pieces of crumble into smaller pieces. You want a variety of crumble sizes. It’s going to seem like a lot of crumble, but it’s totally fine once the pie is baked.

Bake the pie on a baking sheet. This helps to crisp up the bottom of the crust and also catch any overflow juices from the pie. It also helps you remove the pie out of the oven easier. The pie is baked at a higher temperature to start browning the crust and the topping, then the temperature is reduced to continue baking the filling, and to make sure the crust and crumble don’t brown too much. Bake until the pie is bubbly.

Triple Berry Crumb Pie

The pie filling will set up more as it cools. Let it cool completely for 3-4 hours before serving.

Enjoy!

Instructions

Prepare the pie crust.

  • On a floured work surface, roll out the disc of chilled dough. Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter.
  • Place the dough onto the pie dish. Ease the dough, without stretching, into the pie dish.
  • Fold and tuck the dough on the edges to create an outer ridge. Flute the edge, or crimp with a fork. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Prepare the crumble topping.

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Pulse to combine.
  • Add the cold the butter to the flour mixture, and pulse until the mixture starts to form large crumbs. Place in the fridge to keep cold while preparing the berry filling.

Make the berry filling.

  • Preheat the oven to 400F and place a rimmed baking sheet, large enough to place the pie on and catch any juices, on the oven rack.
  • Place 3 1/2 cups berries in a large saucepan and set over medium heat.  Use a potato masher to mash and break up the berries. 
  • Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thickened and reduced to 1 1/2 – 1 3/4 cups.  Let cool slightly while preparing the remainder of the filling.
  • In a large bowl, combine both sugars, tapioca flour, salt, lemon juice, and remaining 3 1/2 cups of berries.
  • Peel and grate the apple on a box grater. Place the apple in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as you can. Place the grated apple in the bowl with the uncooked berry/sugar mixture and mix to combine.
  • Add the cooked, and slightly cooled berries to the mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Pour the berry mixture into the chilled pie dough. Top the pie with the chilled crumble topping.
  • Place pie on the baking sheet and bake 30 minutes.  Reduce temperature to 350F and continue to bake until the juices bubble, 30-35 minutes. 
  • Place the pie on a wire rack cool to room temperature, about 3-4 hours, before serving.

Notes

Store the pie at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 days. 
You can freeze baked and unbaked pies. They can be stored up to 3 months. Avoid freezing in glass pie plates and the glass can shatter when placed in a hot oven.

Blackberry Pie Bars

August 26, 2020 By Ashley Leave a Comment

Blackberries are easily the prettiest berry in my opinion, but strangely the most under utilized berry in my house. We don’t eat them enough, and it’s a shame because they’re so, so good.  This past weekend when I was in the mood for a sweet treat, with blackberries on my mind, I made these blackberry pie bars. Ripe, juicy blackberries sit  on top of a buttery shortbread style crust, topped with an almond crumb topping, and baked until golden brown and bubbly. Buttery, and crumbly, with a deep sweet tart blackberry flavor, these bars are super delicious and highly addictive.

Blackberry Pie Bars

The crust

The crust for the blackberry pie bars is similar to a shortbread crust. The flour, sugars, salt, lemon zest and butter are combined in the food processor to make a crumbly dough. The dough will stick together if you remove a handful of the mixture out and give it a light squeeze. That’s how you know your butter is cut in properly, and the dough can be pressed into the pan. Before pressing the dough into the pan, reserve a cup of the flour/butter mixture for the topping.

I like to use the bottom of a measuring cup to evenly press in my dough. Once it’s evenly distributed, I use an offset spatula to make it super neat and level. I can’t help myself, I like to make a pretty crust before baking. It’s just one of  my baking quirks. The crust gets baked until it’s golden brown, then cooled before adding the blackberry filling.

Blackberry Pie Bars

The topping

Remember that cup of the flour mixture we reserved when making the crust? That is also being used as the topping. Add a little bit of spice by adding some cinnamon, then use your fingertips to work the mixture together a bit to form some larger clumps. You can toss in the toasted almonds at this point, or wait to just sprinkle on after sprinkling on the crumb topping.

Blackberry Pie Bars

The blackberry filling

While the crust is baked, and is cooling, make the blackberry filling. I like to macerate the berries for just a little bit while the crust cools so that the filling is a bit more jammy. I used fresh blackberries, but you can use frozen. Defrost and drain them before using. Cut the berries into halves, or quarters if they’re huge, toss them with a bit of sugar, and lemon juice and let them rest, stirring occasionally. When the crust has cooled, and is just warm, combine the cornstarch with the berries and pour onto the crust. Bake the bars until the blackberries are bubbling around the edges and the topping has baked to golden brown.

Blackberry Pie Bars

The blackberries create this thick and juicy deep purple jam when they bake. The crust is buttery, crumbly, and a bit caramel-y from the brown sugar. The blackberries make the crust around edges of the bars sticky and chewy from the juices seeping down the sides before setting up – easily my favorite part. So, so good. And that almond crumb topping just makes these bars. Buttery and crunchy, with a hint of spice, these bars are the perfect way to use up those summer blackberries.

Roasted Peach Crisp Ice Cream

July 2, 2019 By Ashley 2 Comments

I’ve made an exciting change to my life that I’m super excited to share with you all. It’s been a couple months since I’ve posted last and I’ve been really bummed about it – it’s been crazy busy! In addition to blogging, baking and caking, I’ve been working with my husband on his growing business (which I love), and it’s really gotten me to reconsider where I want to take my business. So, I’ve decided to take on limited wedding cake clients and focus more blogging, and teaching baking and cake decorating. With that said, I’m stoked about this decision and I’m looking forward to seeing where this new journey takes me.

Roasted Peach Crisp Ice Cream

Now, let’s talk about this star of this show, er, blog post. Roasted peach crisp ice cream. Roasted and caramelized peaches and crunchy oat and pecan crisp swirled into creamy and decadent vanilla bean ice cream. All you love in a baked fruit crisp packed into a delicious and out of this world ice cream.

I mean, there’s nothing quite like homemade ice cream. It’s creamier, richer and more flavorful than the store-bought tub variety. So, it’s no surprise that when the weather started to get warmer, I instantly had homemade ice cream on the brain. I got a new ice cream machine for Christmas that I have been patiently waiting to use. And, with the abundance of seasonal, summer fruits at the farmers markets – including ripe, fragrant and juicy peaches, I knew that’s how I wanted to break in my new machine.

Roasted Peach Crisp Ice Cream

Using ripe peaches reduces the amount of sugar you need to add to your peaches before roasting, but they also just simply taste better by leaps and bounds. I tossed peeled, pitted and sliced peaches in some brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and roasted them in the oven to bring out more of their natural sugars and deepen the peach flavor.  When the peaches are caramelized, roasted and cooled, I chop them up into smaller pieces and pop them into the refrigerator.

The crunchy crisp topping is the same topping I use for my go-to fruit crisp recipe. I used toasted pecans for this recipe, mostly because it’s my favorite nut to bake with, but any nut will work here. Almonds would be amazing as they go really well peaches. Roasting the pecans deepens their flavor, keeps them crunchy and completely transforms them from meh to amazing. For optimal flavor, don’t skip toasting your pecans. Bake the crisp topping until golden brown, let it cool completely, then store in the refrigerator until the ice cream is churned and you’re ready to layer in the roasted peaches and the crisp topping.

Roasted Peach Crisp Ice Cream

The ice cream base I used for my roasted peach crisp ice cream is a standard custard, or French-style base made with egg yolks. My preferred dairy to use is heavy cream and whole milk. You can also just use half and half if you wish. I find that this is a good balance to create a silky, creamy ice cream without being too rich. You can definitely play around with dairy ratios, but keep in mind, the more fat you use, the smoother, creamier and richer it will be. Like the traditional style custard, I use egg yolks in my ice cream. Egg yolks prevent ice crystals, which allows the ice cream to last longer. Egg yolks also make for a richer tasting and textured ice cream due to it’s emulsifying qualities.

The mixture of sugar, eggs, milk and cream and salt are cooked until thickened, strained and allowed to cool a bit before adding extracts. I used both vanilla and vanilla bean paste for optimal vanilla flavor. Once room temperature, the mixture is set aside in the fridge to chill completely – 8 hours at the very least. You want your ice cream base to be super cold. I make my ice cream base 24 hours in advance before I need it. At this time, I also put my ice cream machine bowl in the freezer to freeze completely.

Roasted Peach Crisp Ice Cream

After I churn my ice cream and it resembles soft serve, I layer the ice cream, the peaches and the crisp topping into my preferred container (I used a 9×5 loaf pan here) and swirl to evenly mix. Pop the ice cream into the freezer to harden up a bit more before serving. I like to top my scoops of ice cream with extra crisp topping when serving.

Did I mention how warm my studio was when photographing my roasted peach crisp ice cream? But really, I sort of love all the little drips and melty pools of ice cream in the photos. Luckily, my roasted peach crisp ice cream was promptly eaten by guests I had coming over. And by promptly eaten, I mean essentially inhaled.

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 7 large egg yolks
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla bean paste

Instructions

Make the ice cream base.

  • Set up an ice bath by placing a 2-quart bowl into a larger bowl that has been filled with ice water. Place a strainer over the smaller bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the milk, cream, sugar and salt into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they have lightened in color. 
  • Gradually pour some of the milk/cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly as you slowly pour. Scrape the mixture back into the saucepan.
  • Cook over low heat, stirring and scraping the pan constantly with a spatula, until the mixture is silky, thickens and reaches a temperature of 170-175F.
  • Strain the mixture into the bowl on the ice and stir the mixture over the ice until the mixture cools to room temperature.
  • Stir in the vanilla and vanilla bean. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for a minimum 8 hours, preferably overnight or 24 hours.

Make the roasted peaches.

  • Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the peaches from sticking.
  • Combine the peach slices, brown sugar salt and cinnamon into a medium size bowl and toss to coat.
  • Pour the peaches onto the sheet pan. Space them out into one even layer. 
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until softened, tender and caramelized. Flip the peaches halfway through cooking and rotate the sheet pan.
  • Let the peaches cool completely on the sheet pan. Once cool, chop the peaches into smaller pieces. Place in a container and store in the refrigerator until the ice cream is ready.

Make the crisp topping.

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Pulse to combine. Add in the oats and the butter and pulse until the mixture comes together and forms large clumps.
  • Stir in the chopped pecans. Turn out the crisp onto the sheet pan and spread into an even layer.
  • Bake the crisp for 10-15, stirring halfway through, until deep golden brown.
  • Let the crisp cool completely then place into a container and store in the refrigerator until the  ice cream is ready.

Freeze and compile the ice cream.

  • Freeze the custard in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. This should take 25-40 minutes. Your ice cream should be thick like soft-serve. 
  • Once the ice cream is frozen, layer the ice cream, peaches and crisp into the container of your choosing. I used a 9x5 loaf pan. Use a knife to swirl in the peaches and crisp thoroughly. 
  • Cover the ice cream with cling wrap. Place the ice cream back into the freezer to harden and remove a few minutes before serving. Serve your ice cream scoops with some additional crisp topping sprinkled on top. Enjoy!
