How to Make Strawberry Creme Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite white cake mix, 1/2 cup of strawberry nectar, 3 large eggs, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil.
  3. Beat with a hand mixer for 2 minutes, or until smooth and well combined.
  4. Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While cakes cool, thinly slice enough fresh strawberries to measure 1 1/4 cups.
  8. Once cakes are completely cool, use a serrated knife to carefully slice each cake layer horizontally in half, creating 4 layers total.
  9. Place one cake layer, cut-side down, on a serving platter.
  10. Spread 1/3 cup of your favorite strawberry jam evenly over the cake layer.
  11. Arrange 1/4 cup of sliced strawberries in a single layer on top of the jam.
  12. Repeat layers: cake, jam, strawberries, until all four layers are used.
  13. Frost the entire cake with your favorite frosting (about 2 cups).
  14. Decorate the top with the remaining 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries and one whole strawberry.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 40 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
