Save some room!
Turning on the oven long enough to bake a pie doesn't always sound like our idea of a good time. Come Memorial Day, we're much more likely to whip up this fruity, eye-catching, no-bake dessert, made with a combination of macerated strawberries and strawberry purée in a graham cracker crust. Rather than cooking the filling on the stovetop, we simply thicken it with gelatin quickly melted in the microwave—minimizing cooking helps preserve the fresh flavor of the berries.
Making the batter with egg whites instead of whole eggs allows you to achieve the lovely purplish hue you see here; yolks will turn the cake an unpleasant shade of green.A successful strawberry cake is a very different animal from the blackberry cake above: Strawberries aren't as acidic as blackberries, so if you try to use strawberry purée in the batter, you'll end up with a poorly risen, off-tasting cake thanks to the un-reacted baking soda.
