STRAWBERRY CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325° F. Grease and flour three 9-inch cake pans lined with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together cake mix and dry Jell-O mix. Add mashed (or diced) strawberries, eggs and oil. Use an electric mixer on low speed to combine for 30 seconds. Add the buttermilk, increase the speed to medium, and continue mixing for 2 more minutes.
• Divide the batter evenly between the three prepared pans. Tap the pans on the counter once or twice to release any big air bubbles.
• Bake the cakes for 27-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
• Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, cream cheese and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth, about 3 more minutes. Add the strawberries and mix on low just until combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until ready to use.
• Using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface. Discard the extra cake.
• Place one cake layer on your cake stand or plate. Evenly cover the top with a layer of frosting. Top with the second cake layer and evenly cover the top with another layer of frosting. Top with the third cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting all over the top and sides. Refrigerate for at least one hour (or overnight) before slicing and serving.

STRAWBERRY COUNTRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter the bottom of two 8-inch cake pans. Then line them with parchment paper and butter and flour the lined pans.
• Cream the butter and sugar on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. On medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, then the sour cream, zests, and vanilla, scraping down the bowl as needed. Mix well. Sift together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. On low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and combine just until smooth.
• Pour the batter evenly into the pans, smooth the tops, and bake in the center of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then remove to wire racks and let cool to room temperature. If using 1 cake, wrap the second well and freeze.
• To make the filling for one cake, whip the cream, sugar, and vanilla in a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until firm. Slice one of the cakes in half with a long, sharp knife. Place the bottom slice of the cake on a serving platter, spread with 1/2 the whipped cream and scatter with sliced strawberries. Cover with the top slice of the cake and spread with the remaining cream. Decorate with strawberries.
