I really need some help. My son's birthday is tomorrow and he wants this cake from a cafe close to my house. It is strawberry and it is very heavy. I think it is soaked. His dad thinks it is strawberry amaretto, but all of the recipes that I have found, do not say to soak the cake. The cafe has weird hours, but I am going to call them today and play dumb. Just in case it doesn't work, does anyone have any suggestions? I have searched for two days with no luck. PLEASE HELP ME
Hi!

If it's a soaked cake, it is probably a sponge or genoise cake.
Soaking a DH or BC box mix cake is usually disasterous, as these batters are not designed to hold moisture.
You can find great sponge or genoise recipes online.

I created my own recipe for a strawberry amaretto cake. I used a genoise for the cake. Then I sliced strawberries and spinkled powder sugar to taste. The sugar draws out the juice. I then took the juice and added approx 3 tablespoons of amaretto and used this as soak to brush on the cake. I placed the strawberries in the middle over a layer of whipped cream custard. Sooooooo good.
I appreciate everyone's help............this is my son's description of the cake, it tastes like strawberry, it's pink, it's wet and it is very heavy and it has cream cheese icing.........his stepmom said it had amaretto, I am not sure
regymusic: is your cake heavy,

No, the genoise is light.
