I made this cake and it was OUTSTANDING! Yes, it took awhile and I did it in steps like you said but it was well worth it and it was HUGE! Thank you for your wonderful vegan recipes! I want to add a picture but not sure how!

Gretchen. I was curious about your bakery days. What it was like opening a bakery to why you closed it and if you don’t think owning a bakery is a good idea.. love yo hear your story
I tried using freeze dried strawberries once like you suggested in previous videos but I dumped the whole pack in my blender and blended before realizing there was a moisture absorbing packet in there 🥲 i got upset and gave up lol. Might give it another shot with this cake, I love strawberry cake and whipped cream! I used to eat a cake called “fraisier” from a french bakery when I was a kid and it was basically very similar to this
@@GretchensVeganBakery I finally bought it and trued it but it came poring out all clumpy and chunky.. is that normal? It didn’t smell funny so I didn’t think it didn’t go bad just thought maybe that his it looks coming out?
yes all that information and more about all my recipes are always included in the IN DEPTH blog post on my website. The written instructions, the explanations, the links to tools I use, all of it is always on the website :) www.gretchensveganbakery.com/strawberry-shortcake-crunch-cake/
Hey Gretchen! This look amazing, I love that you used whipped cream to frost and fill it instead of buttercream! I've been using RichWhip, from the kosher frozen section at Kroger, after some bad experiences with the Silk stuff not whipping up when it first came out, but maybe I need to try it again!
Hey thanks! Yeah me too... I just can't do all that buttercream ALL THE TIME! And that SILK is a life saver! I will say that if you OVER WHIP it will get grainy and separate, so just to very soft peaks on medium to high speed and it will thicken as it sits and especially in the refrigerator!
Oooooooo yummy yummmy yum! 😍I was just about to say this reminds me of that good humor strawberry crunch bar! So dam good! Is this crunching coating the same recipe they used for the bar? I loved the chocolate version too! You must do this next!
I know I was always torn between the strawberry shortcake pop and the chocolate eclair (*as I chased the ice cream man down the street making my mental decision as I got to the truck! LOL) I am not sure what Good Humor uses for the crunch, but I am sure it is not golden sandwich cookies! LOL
Gurl ! That’s an amazing looking cake. I love the freeze dried strawberry step. Does it really give an intense strawberry flavor? I’ve seen the Silk whipping cream but that bad boy was more than $6 bucks so I had to put it back.... lol. Thank goodness for other options😰 As always, great video!
Hey thankssss! :) YES! The freeze dry powder is intense flavor with no added liquid! It's awesome! Yeah the SILK is just under $5 for me, but I think it's worth it! You would need like 6 cans of coconut milk for this cake!
Gretchen do you think you can make a vegan version of your carrot cake? The one where you melted the butter to get the nutty flavor... I know you have one but it uses oil.. Just asking if it would be possible. Thanks!
Hi!! You can totally use melted vegan butter in place of the oil in that recipe. Vegan butter won’t really “brown” though because there are no milk solids, vegan butter is essential oil at the end of the day 🤷🏻♀️
No not here, this is a cold preparation mousse recipe and cornstarch and tapioca need to be boiled to activate, so while perhaps there is a recipe out there with those ingredients, I cannot just tell you to sub that in here, it won't work, not without some major adjustments to the recipe, so I would rather you find a recipe that is more suitable to the ingredients you have and then just plug that into my idea for this finished cake :)
Should i follow your vegan Chantilly cake recipe for a cake with strawberries? My granddaughter wants a strawberry cake like a strawberry shortcake that you get in a bakery not a shortcake biscuit recipe. She definitely does not want this. I watched your Chantilly video & that definitely looks like what she wants but with strawberries on top
Yes you can definitely use the Chantilly Cake cake as a guide! That would be the closest to a traditional Strawberry Shortcake recipe This cake here that we are commenting on, is called "strawberry shortcake" as a copy cat from the Good Humor ice cream bar of the same name ~ but correct, not a traditional strawberry shortcake like from a bakery I've made a strawberry shortcake sheet cake here www.gretchensveganbakery.com/vegan-strawberry-shortcake/ And then I do have a strawberry CAKE recipe here www.gretchensveganbakery.com/strawberry-cake-recipe/ As well as a strawberry shortcake just like I made them in my bakery too www.gretchensveganbakery.com/strawberry-shortcake/ *that one is using a coconut cake recipe but you can easily just use your favorite vanilla cake instead So basically you can mix & match the recipes and create something that is unique to exactly what you want!
@GretchensVeganBakery Oh thank you! I will check out those links. My granddaughter is a picky eater so I have to carefully choose the cake I make. I definitely like the look of this cake though (in the vid). I actually did contemplate making the cake strawberry flavored like the 2 layers you made here. However for my first time I think it's best to stick with a traditional one..... Added: oh my gosh does that strawberry cake (on your website) look so yummy & tempting!!!! I may just send her the link to that & ask her if she wants to give it a go! I just subbed & saved your site to my bookmarks
I made this cake and it was OUTSTANDING! Yes, it took awhile and I did it in steps like you said but it was well worth it and it was HUGE! Thank you for your wonderful vegan recipes! I want to add a picture but not sure how!
Did you use the silk heavy whipping cream for frosting? If so did it stabilize?
OMG Gretchen that is a mother of a cake!! Looks delicious. Cranberry and Strawberry goes really good together. Thanks Grechen for sharing this recipe :)

Gretchen. I was curious about your bakery days. What it was like opening a bakery to why you closed it and if you don’t think owning a bakery is a good idea.. love yo hear your story
Hi! I will let everyone know when I am going to do another live, so we can chat and spill some tea LOL

OH NO!!! LOL woops! I don't blame you that would make me mad too! :)
I’ve seen that silk and bought it but never use it., will have to try it now
I lovvvvveee it! Makes everything (whipped cream) sooo much easier
@@GretchensVeganBakery I finally bought it and trued it but it came poring out all clumpy and chunky.. is that normal? It didn’t smell funny so I didn’t think it didn’t go bad just thought maybe that his it looks coming out?
Freezing strawberries and then thawing them seems to make them sweeter and redder.
Yes I totally agree I always use frozen fruit to make my compotes
@@GretchensVeganBakery Are strawberries ripe in Florida now, or are they still a couple of weeks away?
Should the cake be refrigerated after it is iced with this silk whipping cream?
yes all that information and more about all my recipes are always included in the IN DEPTH blog post on my website. The written instructions, the explanations, the links to tools I use, all of it is always on the website :)

epic!
Can I sub out the silk heavy whipping cream for country crock?
Can I use cornstarch or tapioca flour instead of agar?
