How to Make English North Country Strawberries And Cream Courting Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the strawberry filling: Hull and roughly chop the strawberries. In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cream cheese until smooth.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, level the tops if necessary. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand.
- Spread half of the strawberry filling over the first layer. Top with the second cake layer and the remaining filling.
- Top with the final cake layer.
- Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Frost the entire cake with the whipped cream.
- Garnish with the reserved fresh strawberries.
