How to Make Strawberry Cream Cake

Strawberry Cream Cake Recipe

Quickly made up strawberry cream cake, just because I had all of the appropriate ingredients on hand. Made strawberry preserves to sell on my fruitlavash.com, and ended up with too much leftover syrup. Then I also had sponge cake layers from a few days ago, which I baked to do another test. Anyway, all the right ingredients happen to be in one place.

To make a simple cake, all you need is a little imagination and a good appetite for something sweet. I may not be the biggest sweet tooth, but when it comes to making a recipe for cakes or dessert, I’m all in.






This time a simple strawberry preserves made up my mind to come up with strawberry cream cake.

I am always happy and anxious to hear from you.

Happy baking!

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C degrees

Prepare two 9” baking pans or bake one cake and cut through to make it two layers

Line baking pans with parchment paper, do not grease the pans

In a bowl combine dry ingredients: flour, cornstarch and salt, sift and set aside

In a mixing bowl combine eggs, sugar and vanilla extract

Whisk on high speed until fluffy and pale color, almost tripled in size

Start adding the dry ingredients by sifting a little bit at a time and folding with spatula

Take time with mixing and folding to make sure no flour lumps are left

Pour the batter on prepared baking pans, spread out evenly

Bake 25-30  minutes or until light golden color

Use a knife to slide around the sides, that will help to release the cake from the pan easier
