1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
FROSTING

Instructions
CAKE
Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and prepare two 8” round cake pans by spraying with baking spray and lining the bottoms with parchment paper. Set aside.
Place quartered strawberries in blender and puree until smooth. Run through a fine mesh sieve over a measuring cup until you have 1 - 1 ¼ cups of juice. Do not discard berry pulp, set this along with any remaining pureed berries for the jam filling.
Pour strawberry juice into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until reduced to ⅓ cup (pour into a measuring cup to check, if it’s not reduced enough, return to the saucepan and continue to cook until it is). This usually takes about 10 minutes.
Once reduced, add ⅔ cup milk to the strawberry reduction and whisk together. If using food coloring, whisk that in here as well. Set aside.
In a large bowl using an electric mixer or in a stand mixer, beat together oil, butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until completely combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
With mixer on low speed, gradually alternate adding the flour mixture and strawberry/milk mixture, stirring until just combined after each addition. (I start and end with the flour and add the flour mixture in 4 parts and the milk mixture in 3 parts.)
Place egg whites in a separate clean, dry bowl, and beat on high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Using a spatula, gently fold egg whites into cake batter until completely combined (don’t use your electric mixer at this point or you will over-beat the batter). Divide cake batter evenly into prepared pans and bake on 350F for 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes then run a knife around the edges to loosen cakes from pan and invert onto cooling rack to cool completely. While cooling, prepare the jam filling.
JAM FILLING
Combine remaining strawberry pulp, ⅓ cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt in a small saucepan and whisk to combine.
Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and the whisk leaves a trail through the jam (this takes about 5-10 minutes).
Remove from heat, transfer to a heat-proof bowl, and place in the refrigerator to cool completely. Meanwhile, prepare your frosting.
WHIPPED CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Combine cream cheese, ½ cup powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat together until creamy and smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine remaining (1 cup, 125g) powdered sugar and heavy cream. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
With mixer on low speed, stir together the cream cheese and whipped cream until completely combined.
ASSEMBLY
Once cake and jam are completely cooled place one layer of cake on serving tray. Use a piping bag fitted with a round tip (I use an Ateco 808) to pipe a dam around the layer. Fill with your jam filling.
Top with second layer of cake. Cover the entire cake with frosting.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Cake will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
*May substitute 2 ⅔ cups (330g) all-purpose flour
For the red swirls in the decorative frosting on top of the cake, I just use a (food-safe) paintbrush to paint stripes of icing into the inside of my piping bag and then fill it with icing. You can see how I do this in my Pinata Cupcake recipe post.

My granddaughter requested a strawberry cake for her birthday. This was the best cake I ever made! Thank you, this recipe knocked it out of the park 👍👍
I am so glad everyone enjoyed it so much! :)
very nice girlfriend but I love 💘it very much thank you so much I thank you
This cake is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Hands down the best strawberry cake I or any one in my family and friends has every had. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy it so much! :)
Great recipe! Thank you so much! I have searched high and low for a REAL strawberry cake recipe and not a fake white cake with strawberries or a fake strawberry jello cake. Also in my opinion cream cheese is the ONLY frosting to use on a cake. Strawberry cake is my absolutely favorite cake so really thank you SO MUCH! This is a 5 star recipe!
You are so welcome! I'm so happy you love it 😊
I just made this strawberry cake and it was delicious 😋! I love the jam because it adds another layer of flavor to the cake. The frosting was light, airy and not too sweet! This is the best strawberry cake that I ever had! It has a few extra steps but it is definitely worth it! This is a special cake for any occasion. Also I made your lemon curd with all the extra egg yolks. I never had lemon curd before and now it’s my favorite! Thanks Sam!!! You’re the best! 😁
Thank you so much! This strawberry cake is definitely one of my favorites. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I have a recipe coming soon that uses that lemon curd. 😊😊
Love this recipe! Thank you!!
This is going to be an absolute hit when we get back to family get-togethers!! 💗👍🍓
Definitely! You’ll probably need a couple of cakes! 😂😉
The bite at the end is the best part! Really motivates us to try the recipe out!
Thank you so much! I hope you love these. 😊
So delicious 😋 💏👏👏👍👍💪💪😍😘thanks for sharing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I made this Cake for my brother's birthday, and everyone loved it. I switched this frosting to your chocolate buttercream it was so good. This will be one for the books. I always trust your recipes, and they always turn out delicious. Thank you, Sam!
Ooo, love that combo! Thanks so much for commenting ❤️
Muchísimas Gracias x compartir tan Excelente Reseta,y sobré todo se ve deliciosa, gracias x anotar los ingredientes en Español,saludos Hermosa Güerita, desdé México,
I almost never leave comments in videos but.this.cake!! it was so good I baked it twice this week. Once for my birthday and once more at my family's request. I've baked many cakes over the years, and this one was the best. It was fluffy and fruity perfection. I sliced each cake in half to make it into a four layer cake. I highly recommend it
I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. 😊
what I love about her is her natural flavourings 😘😘
This is the best strawberry cake I’ve seen so far. I use freeze dried strawberries I crush for the cake part.
Thank you! 😊😊
wow.. absolutely delicious! my son loved it and even said it was the best cake he'd tasted!! thank you for sharing the recipe!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)

My granddaughter’s favorite cake is strawberry. I’ve got to make this cake for her. It looks heavenly. Thank you for sharing this.!!!💐
I hope she loves it! 🍓
This cake is delicious and worth the extra effort! My strawberries were not as juicy so I substituted 1 teas of vanilla extract with strawberry extract and it was perfect, highly recommended trying this, my family loved it and it went fast! Thank you.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! 😃
I can't wait to try this recipe because it looks amazing!
I hope you love it! :)
Hi Sam, I made your strawberry cake for my mother’s 85 birthday and it was the hit of the party. Anyone that was not going to eat cake ended up having a piece when other’s that were eating it said it was beyond fabulous. The cake was very moist, the jam was sweet and a bit tart at the same time and the fluffiness of the icing really brought it all together. Making of the cake was labour intensive (took me 2 hrs) as you mentioned but well worth the work. Another home run. Finding you and your channel has really upped my baking ability. This is the third recipe I have made and each one has been so tasty. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I'm so happy the cake turned out so well! Thank you for trusting my recipes--it means so much to me 🥰
I made this cake a few times. Really delicious. Best strawberry cake ever! I made strawberry butter icing as I don’t like wiping cream. ( my personal preference)
Thank you for the wonderful recipe!❤️
I’m so glad you enjoy it so much! 😊
I made this cake a few weeks ago, and we loved it. Thank you so much, Sam!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😊😊
Very delicious 😋..... Thanks for sharing stay connected friend😍
Made this today get ready to spend hours in the kitchen. Very labor intensive. Whipped topping is nice not overly sweet great texture.
I hope you loved it! 😊
I made this yesterday..this is the best strawberry cake ever.. it even tasted better today.. Great job!!! This is a keeper..
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)
@@SugarSpunRun ppp
My granddaughter asked me to bake her a Strawberry cake and I followed your recipe and it came out fantastic. I love your recipes thank you. You give really great step by step instructions. This recipe is definitely a keeper for me. My family has already requested me to b please bake another one for them for Sunday's after dinner desert.
You’re welcome! I’m so glad everyone enjoyed it so much! 😊
Thank you for sharing loved your recipe ❤️🍓
You're very welcome! Enjoy! :)
I have been binge watching your videos for weeks now, I have a book full of all your cakes I can’t wait to make, I want to make this cake for my moms birthday but the strawberry’s here (Canada) are horrible lately ,can I use frozen strawberries. Thank you for all your hard work in making these videos,it has renewed my love of baking.
Absolutely bravo! I see so many cake recipes on TH-cam that use jello or instant pudding which completely defeats the purpose of baking from scratch.
I agree! :)
Oh em gee! Just made this this morning and enjoying a slice right now and it is so yummy! I was worried how sweet it'd be with the strawberries I used but it's just got the right level of sweetness and it's so fluffy. I ended up just baking the cake in a 9x13 pan because I didn't feel like making frosting or stacking the cake lol! Definitely a keeper in my book!
I'm so glad you like it!! 🍓
Looks good I wish I had a piece with you🍓🍓🍓👍👍
Is worthy enough delicious cake! Here you new friend! Full view and thumb up 👍🍀😇
Thank you! 😊
Its not very often that i watch an entire baking video this long. I could listen to you all day. Your voice is nice to hear and I love the way you personalize and explain things. Im your newest sub. Thanks,
Thank you so much! I appreciate it. I hope you love all of the videos. :)
@@SugarSpunRun You are welcome. I enjoy all that I have seen so far. Hello from Jamaica.

I hope you’ll give it a try, I think you’ll love it!
I’m a beginner but I love how easy and simple you keep the recipe. I can’t wait to try it out today!
I hope you love it! 😊 We all start somewhere, before you know it you’ll be an expert.
Your chocolate cake was a big hit! I was iffy about adding hot water to the batter but I'm glad I did, it brought up all the chocolate flavor 😋 I also did your pizza dough & maranara sauce recipes and they were delicious!! Can't wait to try this strawberry cake recipe 🍓🍓🥰
I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much! Sometimes things may seem a little weird but you HAVE to trust me on these. I test my recipes over and over and over and over. I really want the best end product. I think you’ll love the strawberry cake. It’s the perfect spring/summer cake. 😊
Use hot coffee next time! You'll be glad you did.
THIS CAKE IS A BANGER!! So well balanced and nothing is too sweet! The icing is so light and delicious, and I'm definitely keeping this in my recipe book. :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)
Mmm! Looks delicious! I’m going to try it out 💞
I hope you love it! 😊

Thank you so much! 😊😊 I appreciate your support. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun me too but i only saw this video
Looks delicious. God Bless
My son said he wanted "strawberry milk cake" for his birthday and I was at a complete loss. Then I saw this vid and decided to make your recipe. THANK YOU!!! It was so, so good and tasted better than some professional cakes I have had. All the partygoers were raving about it, including the kids! Thanks again for sharing!!♡♡♡
I’m so glad everyone enjoyed it so much! 😊
Nice staryberry
Cake
This was good. I changed it up a little. Used a passionfruit curd instead of strawberry jam and made my whipped cream frosting with mascarpone instead of cream cheese and flavored my frosting with Meyer lemon
That sounds delicious! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
I can't wait 2 attempt to make this cake for my husband's birthday. He loves strawberries. YOU and your channel gave me the confidence to attempt this particular cake which 2 me is intimidating. I have done some of your other cakes...and it went VERY well.😁 Now, I have my "nerve" up enough to try this one😂. THANK U..your recipes are much appreciated!! Peace and Blessings!!!
That is so nice to hear! I'm so happy everything has turned out so well for you--I'm sure this recipe will too ❤
This sounds delicious I will b trying this
I hope you love it! 😊
Thank you for making this cake in cups measurement
You know something... your recipes are so different from the usual people in the west. I am an Asian and your palate is so close to us. Good job!
Thank you so much! ☺️
Great recipe for a strawberry cake
Thank you! :)
Super delicious👍❤
Can’t wait to try this recipe !
Hope you love it!
I am going to try your recipe for this cake & frosting. You did a good job on this video.
Thank you! I hope you love it! :)
I love you ❤ you're so amazing and best baker ❤️
Yummy my fav kinda cake❤❤ looks delish
So great and awesome!!
Thank you! :)
This looks delicious. I like the fact that you use real strawberries instead of anything artificial. I also like the whipping cream instead of sugary sweet buttercream
Thank you so much! :)
It looks amazing! Can everything be made the day before layering?
I made this cake and it turned out beautiful and delicious. Thanks.
Wonderful! I'm so happy it was a hit!
Thank you 💖
This cake is so absolutely amazing!!!!!!! Hey Sam, remember me? I’ve now made so many of your wonderful recipes but this..THIS...CAKE...IS...UNREAL! I’ve made it twice now (yes, still making those birthday cakes for my daughters stuffed animals...hello COVID). The first time I used store bought strawberries and it ranks tied top 1 cake (alongside your Best Chocolate Cake). Then we went strawberry picking and made it again with fresh strawberries. Crazy crazy crazy good. Yes, this recipe takes slightly a little longer to make but it went by fast with the kids helping and enjoying the decorating. Sam, you continue to do such excellent work and your recipes and voice echo throughout our home on a regular basis. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I’m glad everyone enjoyed the cake so much! 😊😊
Yummy 😋 can't wait to try it
Hope you enjoy 😊
Thank you for the class!
oooh this looks so good!
Thank you so much! 😊
I made this cake yesterday and it was absolutely delicious! Moist and flavorful! It was definitely worth all the steps and extra dishes! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much! 😊😊
Did you let the strawberries cool before adding milk or did you just add it straight in?
@@selrod yes i did
@@SweetWilliesCakes awesome thanks!
@@selrod you're very welcome!

Thank you for the support! I hope he loves this one too. 😊
Any suggestions about options for those without a blender or food processor to puree the strawberries? I have a 16oz hammer, a circular saw, and some ingenuity...
I made this cake today, it was delicious!
Glad you liked it!!
Strawberry season just ended. However, I'm saving this recipe for my granddaughter (7 years) to make for her. It looks divine, and I'm glad I found your channel. Greetings and Salaams from Pakistan 🇵🇰 😊
You won't regret trying this one! I hope she loves it! :)
Wow, luscious!
This is definitely going to be my husband's birthday cake on December 2 🥰
I hope he loves it! 😊😊
@@SugarSpunRun I am sure he will🤗🤗
its very good
With this recipe you gained a new subscriber 😇. I have not tried any of your recipes yet but a got my eye on a few..thanks Sam🤗
Welcome to the channel! I hope you love everything! 😊😊
Hi there Sam, that looks delicious. Can I use the same batter for cupcakes and for how long must I bake the cupcakes?🧁
Yummy 😋
It's looking delicious 😋😋 I'm going to make it tomorrow 😍😍
Enjoy!
Duncan Hines makes wonderful cake mix that you can enhance any way you want...Easy as one two three and the topping should be the show stopper......Whipped cream, cream cheese and fresh berries.
Homemade cakes are always better in my opinion. :)
I totally agree, cake mixes only taste good if you've never had a homemade one. I started baking from scratch in middle school tho and never looked at the box situations the same afterward. homemade is waaaaaay bigger an investment as far as time, love, energy and ingredients etc. but sooooooo gratifying when it comes out good!!!
The cake looks delicious! I love that none of the strawberries go to waste 👍
I hope you love it! :)
hey hunni!!! my niecey and I made this cake this afternoon and we LOVE it!!!! we followed your recipe almost exactly, adding only a little splash of strawberry extract, some butter vanilla emulsion, and a layer of fresh diced strawberries over the jam layer and baby when I tell you it's half gone just a few hours later... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 my mommy isn't huge on sweets but she really appreciated how light and not-overly-sweetened the icing is, she already put in her order for another one for sunday dinner. I had to stop the kids from annihilating the batter before I even whipped the egg whites.lmao I couldn't blame them tho, with the jam on the burner, and the batter mixing, the fresh strawberry in the air was kind of intoxicating. thanks for sharing this one, we sent pics to my sis in TX and she's ready for niecey to get home and whip up another one. 😋😋 I can tell it'll ne even better tomorrow when it's chilled thru, I hope it makes it till then... 🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
seriously, I was a tiny bit nervous looking at the reviews of others' strawberry cake recipes... I saw a bunch of people complaining about their cakes coming out dense or gummy or dry or gray but we christened my new kitchen scale and it came out perfect. not only did my elementary school niece and nephew get to learn to use it and practice measuring, following written instructions etc but they got to experience the gratification that comes with doing it 'the hard/long way' (vs a box mix or whatever) and getting a good result. the smiles and cake-covered faces, omg, I'm cheesing thinking about it. ALL the good feels. Theyre so cute. lmao I'm getting her a baking kit before she goes home, I don't think either of us will forget the experience, we had a whole ball. Keep doing what u do, I guarantee we'll play with AT LEAST one more of ur recipes before they leave. I'm looking at that creme brulee one for those leftover egg yolks as we speak... 😘😘
Thank you so much! This comment really made my day! I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it so much. I can definitely understand how hard it is to not keep eating this cake. 🤣
I have other question. Sorry, i use a ninja blander and mix so good and I dont have pure and try to reduce but not working 😢
