- The Ultimate Strawberry Layer Cake With Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person
This cake is my platonic ideal of a spring or summer dessert- uncomplicated, light and fruit forward. It's a hybrid of two other strawberry desserts I like quite a bit, the french layer cake known as fraisier and a classic strawberry shortcake. This cake is now my vehicle of choice for fresh berries and their juices. Follow along as Claire Saffitz makes the ultimate Strawberry Layer Cake.

What are you making for dessert this week?
Coconut cake 🍰 😍
@@laurenschenck5355 Great Answer :)
@@CSaffitz Thanks Claire 😍
Grilled nectarines with blueberries and a lemon curd sauce
Just made this dessert the other day. Sooo good!
This cake has a special place in my heart. I made it for my birthday in 2021 when I was deep in my love affair with Dessert Person, and determined not to have another mediocre pandemic birthday.
It was perfect if you're somebody like me who has an April birthday but wants to pretend it's summer. Also, spending an afternoon making myself a cake was an ideal way to spend my birthday. Why would I delegate the most exciting part of the day to somebody else? lol
"It was perfect if you're somebody like me who has an April birthday but wants to pretend it's summer." is such an eloquent review, haha! Love it!
So jealous of the crew, they get to work filming Claire being her best, and I am sure get to taste all those delightful treats. That cake has me drooling.
I was thinking how jealous I was of the crew when she made the lemon bars lol.
The thumbnail looks so gorgeous and delicious.
This seems like a good project I should do with younger kids. Bake and prep the ingredients then assemble together. Can't wait to try.
This looks INCREDIBLE!
Claire, I’m not a dessert person. That is why, when from time to time the family confuses cooking skill with baking skill, I rely on you. I have to say you always have something extra but it’s never over the top, just a product that oozes love and care! Thank you for your perspective and always being there for me 😍
just made your chocolate eclairs the other day, and they were the best thing i’ve ever baked! can’t wait to try more recipes and hopefully buy Dessert Person one day
This could not come at a better time, when I have 1.5 containers of over ripened strawberries and blueberries in the fridge! Love you
Made this for my wife's birthday last year! The fresh strawberries from the farmers market I got truly made this amazing.
Just got Dessert Person yesterday for my Birthday and I couldn’t be happier! I love how you teach and how the recipes are so easy regarding ingredients and measurements and they always turn out SO good. Me and my mom have become such big fans of your fantastic work and you as a person!
I tried this recipe back in April, it’s become a family favorite, the addition of the lemon zest to the sugar and the cornmeal as well elevate this cake to a whole new level! Way better than shortcake, I’ve done it a few times now, it never looses it’s magic ✨ love the recipe Claire 💕
This looks like the quintessential "summer" dessert. I'm going to also try it with peaches. Can't wait. 😊
I would love to make this with mango! You always brighten up my day.
You should try to make the swedish summer cake "herrgårdstårta"!! It's just like this layer cake but with meringue as well!!
Love me a meringue! Imma look this up!
Or a Swedish princess cake!
Or a Swedish princess cake!
That sounds amazing!

Just made this a few days ago! Loved the cornmeal crunch. Glad to see I followed all the steps correctly :)
The texture of this cake sheet is just amazing ! So unique ✨ Thank you Claire 🥰
I love the tip about hand mixing the lemon zest together with the sugar and hydrating the cornmeal. Great techniques! I always learn something new from you, Claire! Your cookbook is a hit in my house!
Hi Claire, I hope you are as happy making these videos as I am watching them! Thank you for sharing your beautiful baking with us x
Claire!!! I made this for my first ever post (deep) pandemic summer party. It was so fun to make and feel fancy and serve and make people happy. Thank you!!
This recipe is the best i’ve ever seen. Claire. This takes the cake. The new dessert of summer. Sending to my mom ASAP so that she can make it this sunday!
Wow! Looks amazing - like everything you make. I love your way because you reach down to all the worries of the person. You don't just hand out an unaware recipe. You are a gorgeous lady. And thank you. I hope you know how appreciated your song is.
What a lovely idea! Thanks for sharing it with us, Clare. Especially appreciate the tip about the zest and sugar, will have to try that.
This looks delicious. Reminds me of Victoria Sandwich, a British cake similar to this cake. Since I live alone, I’m thinking of making miniature versions of the cake in a muffin tin. That way I can slice the mini-cake, and fill & top it for a personal serving so I don’t have to worry about the rest of the cake going to waste as it only lasts about a day once it’s constructed. I’m loving your kitchen, Claire!
That would be super cute! My auntie used to do something similar but with puff pastry and it was so delicious 🤍
Claire, I so enjoyed watching this video! I love Strawberry Shortcake and watching you make this reminded me of a dear friend in Germany. We went to visit her during the summer of 2011. During our stay, her and her husband planned a barbecue with the family which included their three kids, their spouses and the grandkids. I watched her make a 12 in vanilla sponge cake from scratch, and then she split it like you did. She had made a strawberry rhubarb filling and she used it in between the layers along with a layer of whipped cream and then she put whipped cream on top. It was so simple so delicious, the perfect summer dessert. She obviously knew her kids, because that cake was devoured!
I love your tips on how to score the cake before splitting the layer, and using the strawberries the support in between. Great idea! I always learn something when I watch one of your demos. Never stop baking Claire!
Cake looks utterly divine, and I loveeee the apron!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I like that it's not overly sugared. That's a quick way to kill my desire to eat a thing. This looks _really_ good. Very summery.
Who knew stress eating whipped cream after service was a universal experience hahahha
one of my fave recipes from the book!!
This cake looks amazing! Love the Big Bud Press Apron!!! X
Thank you Claire for being more accommodating of us non-stand-mixer-havers
I made this for my Mum for Mother's Day! So good!
This sounds like something my mom would love, she's all about light summery fruit desserts :)
Stunning! Love the stilts...genius! Thank you Claire
we literally just got a new batch of strawberries this week!!! perfect video and recipe 💓
the verdicts are always amazing... mmm...
This looks delicious! The perfect cake for the summer 🍓🍰☀️
Looks so delicious! Love the apron. 💗
You make the most beautiful things that sparkle and make the world shine with happiness 🥰
My favorite from the book! Simple, delicious, summer-y! All the people at the bar I work at were begging me to make it again this year when I brought it last year
strawberry and whipped cream, the best combination 💖
I made this yesterday for a dinner party and it turned out delicious! I love that it's not very sweet; the berries really shine. The cornmeal cake is brilliant. I didn't manage assembly without cracking the top so it wasn't as pretty as Claire's but it made up for it by tasting great!
Made this for my wife this weekend on a whim. Didn't have buttermilk so substituted with greek yogurt and some extra milk. Worked well. It's one of her all time favorites
I love you Claire. You truly are my comfort person
This looks like fun!
Looks so delicious!!! Thank you Claire!
You look amazing Claire always! Hope you have a wonderful day of baking delicious beautiful pastries 🥮 xoxo 😚
Thank you for your video! I just made it, and you are right: easy, delicious and the Whipped cream w/out sugar is on point! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So excited just got your dessert 🧁 person cookbook. Will DEFINITELY try this.
I made this for the fourth of july! It was so much fun and delicious.
People have been baking this cake A LOT on the r/dessertperson subreddit! Looks so good. 😍
Perfect timing I’ve made of lot of these this summer My favorite
I made mini versions of this recipe a few months back and it tasted so good! Definitely plan on making it again but in its full size!
Love it! Thanks Claire 🤍
Both claire and her cake had me drooling
Always love seeing Big Bug Press sneaking its way in 🍄🌈
I'm going to have definitely try this recipe out sometime in the near future. Looks really delicious.
This cake is delicious! Made it last night and we devoured it - love the addition of corn meal into the batter.
I’ll have to try hydrating the corn meal next time I bake with it! Never thought of that but it makes total sense.
Whipped cream is also my favorite food ♥️
My birthday is coming up and now I know what to do! I love everything strawberry, I always have my pancakes with strawberries every day so this looks so good. I’m so excited:D
I baked this last weekend! It was SOOOO good
Bread and butter sandwiches were my favorite lunchbox item my mom gave me (that or peanut butter and butter)....and whipped cream is literally the best thing on planet earth.
when my two favorite foods (whipped cream and strawberries) appear on the same episode of dessert person, i know it’s gonna be a good day
Great video! This is very similar to a dessert my mom makes with store bought pound cake, cool whip, strawberries, and blueberries. Berries and cream is a very customizable combination!
Making this for my boyfriends birthday. It's just the two of us so I'll be putting it into muffin pans and serving like a trifle. Very excited!
love the editing and vinny comments. the handsome lemon may have been my fav part.
I made this as soon as I got the book. WHO NEW CORNBREAD COULD BE CAKE!!! It's so good lol
This cake looks so beautiful and always Claire
Obsessed with this apron! 😍
This is more like scandinavian cakes. In Norway we would cover it completely with cream and put the strawberries on top of that. Using vanilla custard instead of regular whipped cream for the filling is also a great idea! 😋 Buttercream, meringue and fondant etc is very rare to see on our cakes
This is the first thing I made when I bought Dessert Person ❤️ mine certainly wasn’t as pretty (I didn’t whip the cream long enough because I’m impatient 🤦🏻♀️) but it was soooo good!
I want to make this every week !! 🥰🤍
Love the apron!
This channel is such a delight. Every. Single. Time! 🥰🤩
Love your apron!
Love the new apron!!
That apron! I love it!
I’m obsessed with your new apron! You look gorgeous!
Claire’s hairstyle today is tops. She’s a superstar ✨⭐️
Loved Spuddy getting all the under chin scritches at the end! Thank you Claire for this recipe! I have not had a failure with any of your recipes: I think that's because you teach the logic and reason behind each step.
i looove this apron
whipped cream + cake + strawberries is a legendary combo
Made this cake as the first recipie I tried out of dessert person, I made mine with blueberries as well as strawberries. Wish I would have thought of some of the layer transporting tricks, I just ended up yelling at it to stay in one piece. Lovely tutorial as always! ♥️
i ll be making this for my birthday in August :)
Looks yummy! and that apron is awesome
Hi! Your dessert looks amazing! Similar to a shortcake. Yum!
Love how im watching this recipe. Whilst doing the croissant recipe you did a little while ago :D
Mmmm! I need to make this & share it with my parents.
YAY SO EXCITED!!! 😍
gonna make this for my dads birthday this week! thanks!
Tried this out the other day! It was so good! I didn’t have many strawberries so I added blackberries too! Id definitely recommend it! :)
i watched this last night, and now i’m making it :3
I bet this would be great with ripe mangoes too. Will definitely try!
Spuddy is so cute!!!!! 🐈⬛
I love this apron
I am excited to try a new version of cake with my strawberry dessert(s).
Now I want this for Breakfast.🍰🍰🍰
I made this and the cake body came out amazing. Grinding the sugar into the zest made a huge difference -- the lemon flavor really came through! I will say that, as a person who loves sugar, the plain whipped cream was too bland. I think next time I will add sugar to the whip and also a little strawberry juice. My strawberries were almost overripe (store bought) and I actually think less ripe strawberries would be better if you can't eat the cake all in 1 day. By day 2, the strawberries had become a little mushy. My SO also has a preference for tart flavors, so if you're into that don't use super ripe berries. That's if you're doing store bought, if you're picking your own then do whatever you want because you cannot go wrong. I will make this again for the cake body alone because even without the cream it is a phenomenal cake. Thank you Claire!
This is the best show!
OH YAH! my birthday is on monday and i will be making this for myself!!! cant wait!!!!!!!!!
