How To Make Strawberries and Cream Cake


Strawberries and Cream Cake

  This is a great cake to make with fresh strawberries, cream, strawberry sauce and whipped cream!
Instructions
Things you will need:
  •   2 3/4cups cake flour
  •   2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  •   2 cups white sugar
  •   1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored gelatin
  •   1 cup butter, softened
  •   4 eggs 
  •    1 cup milk
  •   1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  •   1/2 cup strawberries, pureed
  •   1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  •   2 tablespoons sugar
  •   1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  •   1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  •   1/2 cup margarine, softened
  •   1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  •   4 cups confectioners' sugar
  •   2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  •   1 1/2 cups quartered strawberries
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, Grease and flour three 9 inch round cake pans.

Step 2
Get a large bowl and beat together the sugar, gelatin and butter until its fluffy. Add in the eggs but one at a time and beat well after each egg. Mix in the flour and baking powder and beat alternately with the milk into the sugar mixture. Now fold in 1 teaspoon vanilla and pureed strawberries.

Step 3
Divide this mixture equally into the three 9 inch round cake pans.

Step 4
Bake for 25 minutes in the oven. To see if it is done stick a toothpick in the middle of the cake and see if the toothpick comes out clean. When done, take them out and let them cool for a good ten minutes and then you can take them out of the pan and let them cool some more.

Step 5
To make the filling, first beat the whipping cream, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla on high until stiff. Fill each layer of cake with 1/3 of the whipped cream and 3/4 cup sliced strawberries.

Step 6
To make the frosting, you beat the margarine, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Spread this frosting over the sides of the cake, and a little on the edge around the top of the cake.

Step 7
Spread the remaining whipped cream on the top of the cake. Top with quartered strawberries.
