Any occasion will adore this light Strawberry Vanilla Cake.  Juicy strawberry filling overflows the layers of light, fluffy vanilla cake, which is topped with a delicious tang from the cream cheese frosting.

  • Total Time: 2 hours

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) 
  • Three teaspoons baking powder
  • Loads of salt
  • One glass of milk 
  • Flavor strawberry

Strawberry Filling:

  • ¾ pound strawberries, quartered or halved

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • ¾ cup thick cream 
  • Softened cream cheese, eight ounces 
  • I measure sugar out.
  • Food coloring at will
  • Pureed strawberries, two teaspoons (see instructions)

Instructions

  1. Turn oven up to 350°F (180°C).  Grease, line, and dust three 6-inch cake pans.
  2. 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). 
  3. Evenly divide mixture among pans, and bake for 25 minutes (use a cake tester to check).  Cakes must totally cool. 
  4. Work up the filling: Strawberries should be thick when pulverised in food processor.
  5. 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. 
  6. 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. 
  7. Assemble by piping ruffles of icing around the cake.  Incorporate piped hearts (or flowers) and, if wanted, pearls or strawberries. 

Notes

  • Store refrigerated or frozen cooled cake layers covered in plastic. 
  • For larger cakes, double the recipe (change pan size). 
  • To produce your own cake flour, use one spoonful of cornstarch for every cup of all-purpose flour. 
  • Because of the cream cheese frosting, keep cake in the refrigerator.
