Zubereitung von Easy Dreamy Strawberry Cream Cake
- In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 pint (approximately 2 cups) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon kirsch (optional).
- Set aside for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the strawberries to release their juices and macerate.
- Reserve about 1/2 cup of the most attractive strawberry slices for decorating the top of the cake.
- To make the frosting/filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces (1 package) cream cheese, softened, with 2 cups powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).
- Reduce mixer speed to medium and gradually add 1 cup heavy cream. Beat until the mixture begins to thicken. Increase speed to high and beat until soft peaks form (about 2-2 1/2 minutes).
- Do not overmix.
- Assemble the cake:
- Place one layer of your prepared white cake on a serving plate or cake stand. Fill the center with half of the macerated strawberries, arranging them in an attractive pattern.
- Carefully spread half of the cream cheese frosting evenly over the strawberries, leaving about 1/2 inch of space from the edges.
- Top with the second cake layer and gently press down.
- Repeat with the remaining macerated strawberries and frosting.
- Decorate the top of the cake with the reserved strawberry slices.
- Garnish with a fresh mint sprig, if desired.
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately with a scoop of strawberry ice cream.
- Refrigerate any leftover cake. Note that it is best served on the day it is made.
