How to Make Strawberries And Cream Layer Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch metal baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) white cake mix, 4 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 4 minutes.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Beat until combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, puree 16 oz frozen strawberries (or 2 cups fresh strawberries) with 1/4 cup strawberry syrup in a food processor until smooth. If using fresh strawberries, skip this step.
- In a large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream with 1/2 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake is completely cool, use a serrated knife to cut it horizontally in half.
- Place the bottom layer of cake, cut-side up, on a serving platter.
- Spread 1 cup of the strawberry puree over the bottom layer.
- Arrange 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries over the puree. (If using only frozen strawberries, increase to 2 cups of puree).
- Spread 2 cups of the whipped cream over the strawberries.
- Top with the second cake layer, cut-side down.
- Spread the remaining strawberry puree (or arrange a layer of fresh strawberries) over the top of the cake.
- Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake.
- Garnish the cake with sliced fresh strawberries.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Can be prepared up to eight hours ahead.
