Use

• Before first use, wash pan with hot, soapy water.
• Oven safe to 400°F.
• Use only wood, silicone, plastic or other nonmetal utensils to avoid scratching the surface.
• For best results, spray pan with a nonstick baking spray with flour. Turn pan upside down and tap to remove excess flour. These steps will help ensure easy release and excellent pattern definition.
• When pouring in batter, begin with a small amount, making sure liquid fills in all of pan's details. Pour in remaining batter.
• To prevent overflow, do not fill more than 3/4 full.
• Gently tap pan on counter several times to release excess air bubbles from batter.
• After baking, cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.
• To unmold, tap pan firmly a few times. Invert onto cooling rack and lift pan away.
• Allow cakes to cool completely before decorating.

Care

• Hand-wash. Dry thoroughly.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners such as metal scouring pads, as they can damage the surface.
• A soft sponge or kitchen brush will remove baked-on food particles. You may need to scrub lightly.

The freeze-dried strawberries in this recipe act as a natural dye, turning the cake bites a dusty pink color. If you’d prefer a more intense color, add the optional red or pink food coloring until you get the desired color.

Ingredients:

• Bak-Klene Nonstick Cooking Spray
• 1 3/4 cups (9 oz./280 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 oz. (30 g) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into a fine powder
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 12 Tbs. (1 1/2 sticks) (6 oz./160 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup (8 oz./250 g) granulated sugar
• 3 egg whites, at room temperature
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (4 fl. oz./125 ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
• Red or pink food coloring (optional)
• Confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Directions:

Preheat an oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray the wells of a Nordic Ware Strawberry Bitelet Plaque with the nonstick cooking spray.

In a bowl, sift together the flour, strawberry powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the flat beater, cream the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the egg whites and vanilla and beat until combined, about 30 seconds.

In two additions, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beating on low speed until just combined. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 30 seconds.

If desired, add the food coloring to the batter until the desired color is achieved, beating until no streaks remain.

Spoon about 1 Tbs. of the batter into each of the prepared wells. Place the plaque on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake until the cake bites are puffed up and the tops spring back when lightly touched, 12 to 15 minutes.

Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn the cake bites out onto a wire rack. Let the plaque cool slightly, then wash and pan and spray the wells with more of the nonstick cooking spray. Repeat to cook the remaining batter.
