Strawberry Dream Cake
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
For the Strawberry Filling:
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
For the Whipped Cream Frosting:
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Make the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Strawberry Filling:
8. In a small saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens (about 10 minutes). Let it cool.
Make the Whipped Cream Frosting:
9. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Cake:
10. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread the strawberry filling over the top.
11. Place the second cake layer on top and cover the entire cake with whipped cream frosting.
12. Garnish with fresh strawberries on top, if desired.
Enjoy a slice of this dreamy strawberry creation! 🍓🎂💕
