Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups cake flour, sifted
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract (optional)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • 1 cup fresh chopped strawberries
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp strawberry puree or juice
  • 1 tbsp milk (as needed for consistency)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh halved strawberries (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add sugar while mixing for about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
  4. Sift together cake flour and salt; gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  6. For the strawberry cream filling, beat heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Mix softened cream cheese with strawberry jam, then fold in whipped cream and chopped strawberries.
  7. Assemble the cake layers with strawberry filling in between, frosting the top and sides with remaining filling.
  8. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
