Cleveland cassata cake in a jar
Cakes
Growing up in Cleveland, I knew this as "the really yummy cake with the fresh strawberries." It was only after leaving Cleveland that I realized you can't get this cake everywhere, which is so, so sad for everyone else in the world. <br /> <br />Think of it as the strawberry shortcake of your dreams: layers of light, moist chiffon filled with fresh strawberries and custard and frosted with whipped cream. For me, it's the fresh strawberries that really make this cake; they're tossed with just a couple spoonfuls of sugar to release their juices but still stay firm and almost have a little crackle because of the seeds. <br /> <br />I decided to adapt the recipe from Sweet Amandine by creating the layer cake in small Mason jars. This way you can see all the pretty layers and have your cake, too!
