Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 units Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries (diced)
- 0.5 cup Strawberry jam
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries and strawberry jam with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together using a stand mixer or hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of whipped cream frosting on top of one cake layer. Top it with the second cake layer.
Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream frosting. Garnish the cake with fresh strawberries as desired.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set. Enjoy your Mercy Strawberry Cake!
