Place remaining cake atop strawberries, frost the top and sides of the cake, and top with remaining strawberries.

CLASSIC STRAWBERRY CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the strawberry purée: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Spread the strawberries on a baking sheet and toss with the sugar until well coated.
• Roast the strawberries for about 25 minutes, or until very fragrant and bright red in color.
• Transfer the roasted strawberries to a blender and purée for 1-2 minutes, or until very smooth.
• Transfer the strawberry purée to a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until very fragrant and most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the vanilla. 6. Remove the pot from the heat and let the purée cool completely. The purée can be made 1 day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line 2 9-inch (22 cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until very light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the strawberry purée and beat on high speed for 30 seconds. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating on medium speed after each addition for about 30 seconds, or until just combined, before adding the next.
• Add ⅓ of the dry ingredients to the batter and beat on medium speed for about 30 seconds, or until fully combined. Add the vanilla, ½ of the buttermilk, and another ⅓ of the dry ingredients and beat for another 30 seconds, until well incorporated. Add the remaining buttermilk and dry ingredients and beat to incorporate. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla, then mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake the cakes for 30-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cakes from the oven and let cool slightly, then remove from the pans and let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Make the frosting: In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar and butter. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed for 1 minute, until fluffy. Add the vanilla and heavy cream and beat for 1 minute more, until smooth. The frosting will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before frosting the cake.
• To frost the cake, set one layer on a cake stand lined with strips of parchment paper. Spread about 1½ cups (260 G) of frosting evenly over the cake. Top with the remaining cake layer and evenly frost the top and sides with a thick layer of frosting. Decorate the cake with fresh strawberries.
• Enjoy!

VANILLA AND STRAWBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Put a small/medium bowl in the freezer to chill. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in sugar, then jam. Remove that chilled bowl from the freezer and beat cream in that chilled bowl until peaks form. Fold whipped cream into frosting. Cover; chill for a couple of hours until it's firm enough to spread. (If you are in a hurry, you could put the frosting in the freezer to chill quickly.).
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour two 9-inch cake pans with 2-inch high sides. (I used 10″ cheesecake pans - aka springform pans - because they were the only round pans I had with high enough sides and they worked great!) In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add sour cream, and beat for 30 seconds. Add flour mixture in three additions, beating to blend after each addition. Divide batter into prepared pans.
• Bake cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edges of the pans, then turn cakes out onto a rack to cool completely. I threw the two cake layers in the freezer for about an hour to make the cake assembly easier.
• Using a serrated knife, divide each layer in half horizontally. Place one half, cake side down, on a cake plate.
• Spread 3 TBSP of strawberry jam over the cake, then spread 3/4 c of the frosting over the jam. Arrange 3/4 c of the sliced strawberries on top of the frosting in a single layer. Repeat two more times with cake layer, jam, frosting, and strawberries.
• Top with remaining cake layer, cut side down. Spread two cups of frosting over the top and sides of the cake in a thin layer, then frost with remaining frosting. Stir remaining jam to loosen, then spoon teaspoonfuls onto the top and sides of the cake. Use the back of a spoon to swirl jam decoratively into the frosting. This recipe makes a very big 4-layer cake that will feed a lot of people.
