Strawberry Cream Layer Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Strawberry Cream Layer Cake.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch tube pan by greasing and dusting it with flour.

2. Step 2

   In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter with the milk over low heat, ensuring it doesn’t reach a boil.

3. Step 3

   In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 cups of sugar until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

4. Step 4

   Incorporate the warm butter and milk mixture along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a delightful flavor boost.

5. Step 5

   In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking soda, then gradually fold this dry blend into the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is harmoniously combined.

6. Step 6

   Pour the luscious batter into your prepared tube pan and let it bake for about 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center emerges clean.

7. Step 7

   Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Step 8

   While the cake cools, whip up a creamy frosting by combining cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl with a whisk attachment until smooth.

9. Step 9

   Gradually add the heavy cream, whipping until the mixture forms stiff peaks, but be cautious not to overwhip.

    When the cake has cooled, slice it horizontally into three even layers.
