VANILLA CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY CREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter in a large bowl until smooth. You'll probably want to use an electric mixer for this so you don't end up with lumps. Stop every now and then to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in sugar, then jam.
• Beat heavy cream in a separate, chilled, bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into frosting. Cover; chill for a couple of hours until it's firm enough to spread and won't slide off your cake.
• For the cake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
• In a medium bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add sour cream, and beat for 30 seconds. Add flour mixture in three additions, beating to blend after each addition.
• Divide batter into prepared pans. Bake cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is light golden brown, 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes.
• Run a sharp knife around the edges of the pans, then turn cakes out onto a rack to cool completely.
• Using a serrated knife to gently slice off any domed tops of the cake so they're flatter. Place one half, bottom-side up, on a cake plate. Spread 2 T of strawberry jam over the cake, then spread 3/4 c of the frosting over the jam. Arrange 3/4 c of the sliced strawberries on top of the frosting in a single layer. Repeat two more times with cake layer, jam, frosting, and strawberries. Top with remaining cake layer, bottom side up.
• Spread two cups of frosting over the top and sides of the cake in a thin layer, then frost with remaining frosting. Stir remaining jam to loosen, then spoon teaspoonfuls onto the top and sides of the cake. Use the back of a spoon to swirl jam decoratively into the frosting.
• If you won't be cutting the cake for more than an hour or so, store it chilled until you're ready.

(If you are in a hurry, you could put the frosting in the freezer to chill quickly.) Make the Cake 2)Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour two 9-inch cake pans with 2-inch high sides.(Can use 10 inch springform pans). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edges of the pans, then turn cakes out onto a rack to cool completely. You can put the two cake layers in the freezer for about an hour to make the cake assembly easier. 4) Using a serrated knife, divide each layer in half horizontally. Place one half, cake side down on a cake plate. 5) Spread 3 tbsp of strawberry jam over the cake, then spread 3/4 c of the frosting over the jam. Arrange 3/4 c of the sliced strawberries on top of the frosting in a single layer. Repeat two more times with cake layer, jam, frosting, and strawberries. 6) Top with remaining cake layer, cut side down.

VANILLA CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY CREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• 1. FOR CAKE: Prepare two 9-in cake pans with a coating of butter and flour; set aside.
• 2. Whisk together flour, salt, baking soda and powder; set aside. In a separate, larger bowl, cream together your sugar and butter. You want it to reach a light, fluffy consistency. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add vanilla and combine well. Next, do the same with your sour cream. Finally, beat in your flour mixture, 1/3 at a time. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
• 3. Bake in a 350 degree pre-heated oven cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Remove and let cool for about 10 minutes. Loosen cake from pan by carefully running the edge of a knife around the pan. Turn out onto a cooling rack; let cool completely.
• 4. FOR FROSTING: Chill a medium bowl in the freezer. Meanwhile, beat together your cream cheese and butter until completely smooth. Add in sugar and jam, beting until well combined. Beat in sugar, then jam.
• 5. Remove bowl from freezer, pour in cream and beat until peaks form. (Whipped cream!) Fold into cream cheese mixture. Cover and chill until spreadable - will take a few hours.
• 6. ASSEMBLY: Once cake is thoroughly cool, use a serrated knife to carefully cut each cake round in half, horizontally.
• 7. Place once half onto your serving platter, cake side down. Start layering on your filling, beginning with a smear of 3 tablespoons of jam. Follow that by spreading on 3/4 cup of your frosting and finally 3/4 cup of the sliced berries (make a single layer of the berries, don't just toss them on.) Repeat this process two more times with cake layer, jam, frosting, and strawberries.
• 8. When you reach the top cake layer, you're nearly done! Frost the outside of the entire cake with a thin layer of icing, about 2 cups worth. This is your crumb coat. Use the remaining icing to thoroughly frost the cake and make it pretty. We took the suggestion of swirling the remaining strawberry jam over the iced cake... so pretty!
