How to Make It
Step 1
Scoop 3 cups Strawberry Sorbetinto a large bowl. Using head of ice cream scoop, break up the sorbet. Once it begins to melt around edges, fold sorbet with a flexible spatula until smooth, spreadable, and still holds its shape, like smooth peanut butter.
Step 2
Using a large offset spatula, spread the softened sorbet evenly in a round 9-inch (12-cup) springform pan, spreading to edges. Use flat side of a plastic bowl scraper to smooth surface. Place a 9-inch round sheet of parchment paper directly on the surface; freeze 45 minutes.
Step 3
Repeat Step 1 with 3 cups Strawberry Gelato. Peel parchment off sorbet layer; spread Strawberry Gelato over sorbet, and smooth with bowl scraper. Cover with parchment; freeze 45 minutes.
Step 4
Repeat softening and layering procedures with 3 cups Strawberry Sorbet and 3 cups Strawberry Gelato, freezing between layers. On final Strawberry Gelato layer, fill pan to top, using an additional 1 cup Strawberry Gelato; smooth and level with bowl scraper. Cover with a 9- x 13-inch sheet of parchment. Freeze 8 hours.
Step 5
To unmold, dampen a kitchen towel with hot water; wrap around pan to release cake from sides of pan. Remove parchment and pan sides. Replace parchment, and invert cake onto a cutting board or cookie sheet. Freeze 1 hour.
Step 6
Repeat Step 1 with 6 cups Sour Cream Gelato. Mound 4 cups softened Sour Cream Gelato on top of cake. Using a large offset spatula, frost cake with gelato evenly over top and just past edges of cake. Using parchment to turn cake, frost cake sides with remaining 2 cups Sour Cream Gelato. Use bowl scraper to smooth top and sides of cake. Return to freezer; freeze at least 4 hours before serving.
Step 7
Transfer cake to refrigerator for 10 minutes before cutting. Slide cake from parchment onto a serving plate. Garnish with 1 qt. fresh strawberries. Slice and serve immediately.
