Best Triple Layer Strawberry Cake Recipes

TRIPLE-LAYER STRAWBERRY CAKE WITH FRESH STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Combine fresh strawberries and two tablespoons of sugar in a blender. Pulse until strawberries are reduced to a pulp. DO NOT blend until smooth. (You will use ½ cup of the puree for the cake. Reserve the remaining puree to use in the frosting.) Set aside and allow to macerate further while you perform next few steps.
• Preheat oven to 350°F | 175°C. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
• Whip eggs whites until they form medium peaks. Set aside.
• Combine sifted flour and baking powder. Set aside.
• Whisk together milk, strawberry puree, lemon zest, and vanilla. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar, dry strawberry Jell-O®, and salt. Beat in eggs yolks one at a time.
• Stir flour mixture into batter alternately with strawberry-milk mixture.
• Gently fold in whipped egg whites.
• Pour batter evenly into the three prepared cake pans. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick or skewer comes out clean.
• Allow cakes to cool in their pans over wire rack for at least 10 minutes. Carefully tap out onto wire rack to cool completely.
• Using an electric mixer, beat butter on medium-high until light and fluffy.
• With mixer on low, add powdered sugar to the whipped butter alternately with ⅓ cup pureed strawberries. Combine thoroughly into a soft, creamy mixture that will hold its shape. Cool in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until it has firmed up slightly.
• Spread the top of the bottom layer of cake with frosting. Add the middle layer and refrigerate again until the frosting has firmed up a bit. Add the top layer and frost sides and top of cake. For a cleaner frosting, apply a crumb coat first to keep the crumbs out of your final frosting. If you are spreading the frosting on thick, you may want to refrigerate the cake after you apply the frosting between each layer until the frosting has firmed just a bit; about 10-15 minutes for each layer. (If you are frosting it thin, you probably won't need to do this.)
• Decorate with fresh strawberries if desired.

STRAWBERRY TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Sift the flour and salt together into a medium bowl. Beat the eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until thick like cake batter and pale yellow in color, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla. Gently but quickly fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until combined. Pour the batter into the baking dish and spread evenly.
• Bake the cake until it springs back when gently pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes.
• Make the strawberry sauce: Combine the strawberry milk, heavy cream, condensed milk and strawberry concentrate in a large bowl and mix very well. Pierce the cake all over with a fork, then slowly drizzle with the strawberry sauce. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Make the whipped cream: Grind the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until powdery. Beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and strawberry powder in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold in the lemon extract.
• Spread the whipped cream over the cake and garnish with strawberries. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

SOUTHERN TRIPLE DECKER STRAWBERRY CAKE RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat cake mix, strawberry gelatin, eggs, sugar, chopped fresh strawberries, milk, vegetable oil and all-purpose flour at low speed with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Scrape down sides, and beat at medium speed for 2 more minutes, stopping to scrape down sides, as needed. The strawberries should be well blended. Pour batter into 3 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans. Bake for 23 minutes, or until cakes spring back when pressed lightly with a finger. Let cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely. To make frosting, beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy (about 20 seconds). Add sugar and strawberries, beating at low speed until creamy. (Add more sugar if frosting is too thin, or add strawberries if too thick.)

Steps:

• Prepare the cake according to package instructions for three 8 inch round cake pans. Bake as directed on the package. Cool on wire rack.
• To make the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the egg white, sugar and strawberries on high speed until very stiff peaks form. This takes about 20 minutes. The frosting really grows so be sure you use a large bowl.
• To assemble the cake: Place one layer on a serving plate, put in a couple toothpicks (this helps to hold the layers together) and frost with 1/4 of the frosting. Repeat with second layer. Place third layer on top, and frost top and sides of cake with the remaining frosting.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray three 9-inch cake pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix cake mix, gelatin, eggs, oil, sugar, strawberries, milk, and flour for cake together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until just combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl, and increase mixer speed to medium; beat for 3 minutes. Pour cake batter evenly into the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 23 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on a rack for about 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, make frosting. Beat butter in a large bowl at medium speed until it's pale yellow and fluffy. Add confectioners' sugar and strawberries and beat at low speed until well combined and creamy. Set in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes to firm it up slightly (you just don't want it to be runny).
• Spread one of the layers of cake with frosting then refrigerate. Frost the second layer and refrigerate until the frosting on both layers has firmed up a bit. Assemble all the layers and frost the top and sides. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

TRIPLE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• Make the shortcakes: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pulse the flour, freeze-dried strawberries, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until the strawberries are crushed. Add the butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Whisk the heavy cream and egg in a small bowl. Pulsing constantly, drizzle the cream mixture into the flour mixture; pulse until the dough comes together. Transfer to a medium bowl and knead 3 or 4 times.
• Scoop 6 balls of dough (about 1/2 cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet using a large ice cream scoop or a measuring cup, spacing the dough 2 to 3 inches apart. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush each ball of dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Puree 2 cups strawberries in a blender until smooth. (You should have about 1 cup puree.) Toss the remaining 4 cups strawberries with 1/2 cup of the strawberry puree, the granulated sugar and lemon juice; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Crush or finely chop the freeze-dried strawberries until powdery; transfer to a large bowl and add the heavy cream and confectioners? sugar. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla and beat until combined. Gently fold in the remaining 1/2 cup strawberry puree. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Split each shortcake and fill with the strawberries and whipped cream.
