This Vanilla Cake with Strawberries and Whipped Cream is a delightful dessert perfect for Valentine’s Day or any celebration! Soft vanilla sponge cake layers are filled with fresh strawberries and whipped cream frosting. The light, airy texture combined with the sweetness of the strawberries makes this cake an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Vanilla Cake Layers:

  • Baking spray

  • 1/4 cup salted butter (room temperature)

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)

  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1 cup cake flour (114g)

  • 3/4 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

Strawberry Filling:

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries (cleaned, hulled, and sliced)

  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar

Simple Syrup (optional):

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 cup water

Whipped Cream:

 

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

  • 1/3 cup sifted powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1 tbsp white chocolate instant pudding mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare Macerated Strawberries: Combine strawberries with sugar and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight.
  2. Prepare Simple Syrup: Heat sugar and water over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves and mixture becomes clear. Allow to cool.
  3. Prepare the Cake Layers: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line and spray three 6-inch round cake pans. Cream butter and sugar in a stand mixer for 2 minutes, then add eggs one at a time, followed by oil, vanilla, and sour cream. Sift in flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Fold gently to combine. Divide the batter among the pans and bake for 15 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  4. Whip the Frosting: Beat chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and pudding mix for about 3 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  5. Assemble the Cake: Start with one cake layer, top with strawberries and their juices, then spread with whipped cream. Repeat with the second layer. Finish with the third layer, topping with whipped cream and strawberries. Chill the cake before serving.
