How to cook deliciously - Strawberry Cream Cake

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom of an 8-inch round cake pan, and line it with parchment paper. Butter and flour the paper and sides of the pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

2. Stage

Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the butter and 1/2 cup of sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. With the mixer on low, alternately add the flour mixture in 3 parts and the milk in 2, beginning and ending with the flour mixture; mix just until combined. Spread the batter in the prepared pan.

3. Stage

Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Using a serrated knife, split the cake in half horizontally and place the bottom half, cut side up, on a serving plate.

4. Stage

Make the topping: In a large bowl, combine the strawberries and 1/4 cup of sugar; set aside. Place 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small saucepan, and sprinkle it with gelatin. Let the gelatin soften for 5 minutes. Place the saucepan over very low heat, and stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.

5. Stage

Using an electric mixer, beat the cream and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl until very soft peaks form. Continue to beat the cream and gradually add the gelatin mixture. Beat until soft peaks form.

6. Stage

Arrange half of the strawberries over the bottom cake layer then top them with half of the whipped cream, leaving a 1-inch border. Cover with the top half of cake, cut side down. Top the cake with the remaining whipped cream, leaving a 1-inch border. Refrigerate the cake and remaining strawberries separately, at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day). Just before serving, spoon the remaining strawberries over the cake.Looking for more dessert ideas? Check out our homemade chocolate chip cookie recipes, apple pie recipes, and chocolate cake recipes.
