Vanilla Party Cake With Strawberries And Cream Filling Recipes

VANILLA PARTY CAKE (WITH STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM FILLING)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter two 9 inch round cake pans, line bottoms with parchment paper, butter parchment. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.
• Using an electric mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar for 1-2 minutes until combined.
• Add eggs and beat until well combined, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary.
• Add flour, baking powder, salt and mix until just combined.
• Add milk and vanilla and beat until smooth.
• Divide batter between the two prepared pans, smoothing tops with an offset spatula. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden and cake tester comes out clean.
• Cool pans on wire rack for 15 minutes then remove cakes from pan to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, beat whipping cream, sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form, set aside in refrigerator.
• Beat butter until light and fluffy, add vanilla and 1 cup icing sugar, beat until combined. Add 1 tbsp of the cream or milk and another cup of icing sugar, mix again, continue with remaining cream or milk and icing sugar, beat until fluffy and smooth.
• To assemble cake, trim cake domes if needed, spread half of whipping cream onto each cake, sprinkle diced strawberries onto one, top with other, cream side down, pressing slightly.
• Spread a thin layer of buttercream all around the outside of the cake, creating a crumb coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Spread another layer of buttercream on top of the cake, smooth with an offset spatula. Then transfer the remaining buttercream into a pastry bag with an large open star tip like a Wilton 1M. Pipe rosettes all around the sides of the cake. Fill in gaps by pipping a star in between.
• Top with some sprinkles or leave as is.

VANILLA LAYER CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans.
• Beat cake mix, milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla pudding mix together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until just blended. Scrape the bowl, increase mixer speed to medium, and beat until batter is smooth, about 4 minutes. Pour batter into prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and white sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth; fold in whipped topping until frosting is smooth.
• Place 1 cake on a serving platter. Spread frosting on top of the cake; top frosting with a layer of strawberries. Place 1 cake atop strawberries. Frost cake and top with a layer of strawberries. Place remaining cake atop strawberries, frost the top and sides of the cake, and top with remaining strawberries.

VANILLA CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY CREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• For the frosting, use the electric mixer to beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of the bowl. Beat in sugar, then jam. Beat cream in medium bowl until peaks form. Fold whipped cream into frosting. Cover; chill until firm enough to spread, about 2 hours.
• Cake:.
• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Butter and flour 2 or 3 9-inch cake pans with 2 inch high sides. Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add sour cream, beat 30 seconds. Add flour mixture in three additions, beating just to blend after each addition. Divide the batter between the prepared pans.
• Bake until tester comes out clean. About 45- 50 minutes. Cool cakes in pan for 15 minutes and then loosen with knife and turn onto rack to cool completely.
• Using a large serrated knife, cut each cake horizontally in half. Place one cake, cut side up, on cake plate. Spread 2 tablespoons strawberry jam over ( I like to warm it slightly in microwave and add some boiling water so I can brush it on the cake), then 3/4 cup frosting, and 3/4 cup sliced berries, arranging in a single layer.
• Repeat this 2 more times with each layer of cake.
• Spread 2 cups frosting on top of cake and over sides of cake.
• Optional, spread remaining jam (room temp) on top and sides of cake (swirl).
• Cut cake into wedges and top with remaining strawberries.
