Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups cake flour, sifted
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract (optional)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • 1 cup fresh chopped strawberries
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp strawberry puree or juice
  • 1 tbsp milk (as needed for consistency)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh halved strawberries (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat for 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in vanilla and almond extract until fully incorporated.
  6. Sift together cake flour and salt, then gradually add to wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  7. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  10. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  11. In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth; add strawberry jam/preserves.
  12. Fold whipped cream into strawberry mixture until fully combined.
  13. Gently fold in chopped fresh strawberries.
  14. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of strawberry cream filling over it.
  15. Add the second layer of cake and repeat with more filling.
  16. Top with the final layer; frost entire cake with remaining strawberry cream filling or whipped cream for a smooth finish.
  17. Chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
  18. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with strawberry puree and enough milk to achieve a smooth pourable consistency.
  19. Top your chilled cake with halved fresh strawberries before serving to add an appealing touch.
