How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Torte
- Heat 1 cup of milk to boiling in a small saucepan.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter until melted and combined.
- Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 4 large eggs.
- Beat at high speed for 3 minutes, until the mixture is thick and pale yellow.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed for 1 minute.
- Gently fold in the cooled milk-butter mixture until just combined.
- Pour batter into a well-greased and floured 10-inch springform pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing the sides.
- Once completely cool, carefully slice the cake into three even layers.
- In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces of room temperature cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually beat in 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 cup heavy whipping cream until light and fluffy.
- Spread about 3/4 cup of the cream cheese filling between each layer of cake.
- Top each layer of filling with sliced strawberries before stacking.
- Frost the entire cake with the remaining cream cheese filling.
- Transfer approximately 1 cup of the remaining filling to a piping bag and decorate the top of the cake.
- Garnish with additional fresh strawberries.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
