Ingredients
Scale
Cake:
- 3 ½ cups sugar
- The two eggs
- A teaspoon of essence of vanilla
- Melted butter, one-four cup
- 2 ¼ cup cake flour (or create your own using cornflour and all-purpose flour)Â
- Three teaspoons baking powder
- Loads of salt
- One glass of milkÂ
- Flavor strawberry
Strawberry Filling:
- ¾ pound strawberries, quartered or halved
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- ¾ cup thick creamÂ
- Softened cream cheese, eight ouncesÂ
- I measure sugar out.
- Food coloring at will
- Pureed strawberries, two teaspoons (see instructions)
Instructions
- Turn oven up to 350°F (180°C). Grease, line, and dust three 6-inch cake pans.
- Assemble the confection. Whisk together the vanilla, eggs, and sugar. When pale and fluffy, beat in butter. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt; add to wet ingredients with milk, alternating three times (start and end with flour).Â
- Evenly divide mixture among pans, and bake for 25 minutes (use a cake tester to check). Cakes must totally cool.Â
- Work up the filling: Strawberries should be thick when pulverised in food processor.
- Get the frosting ready. Save two tablespoons of the strawberry puree; drain the remaining. Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and two tablespoons puree. Whip in the cream until light. Should you so wish, add food coloring.Â
- Layers of the cake should be level when constructed. Spread half of the strawberry filling and then half of the frosting over the first layer on a dish. With the other layers, repeat. Very gently frost the entire cake.Â
- Assemble by piping ruffles of icing around the cake. Incorporate piped hearts (or flowers) and, if wanted, pearls or strawberries.Â
Notes
- Store refrigerated or frozen cooled cake layers covered in plastic.Â
- For larger cakes, double the recipe (change pan size).Â
- To produce your own cake flour, use one spoonful of cornstarch for every cup of all-purpose flour.Â
- Because of the cream cheese frosting, keep cake in the refrigerator.Â
