Recipe by JJ
"Makes an elegant presentation without too much fuss."
Ingredients:
-
2 3/4 cups cake flour
-
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
-
2 cups white sugar
-
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored Jell-O®
-
1 cup butter, softened
-
4 eggs
-
1 cup milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup strawberries, pureed
-
-
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9 inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, beat sugar, gelatin and butter until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Mix flour and baking powder, and beat alternately with the milk into the sugar mixture. Fold in 1 teaspoon vanilla and pureed strawberries. Divide equally into three 9 inch round cake pans.
- Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove from pans and cool completely.
- To make the filling: Beat whipping cream, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla on high until stiff. Fill each layer with 1/3 of the whipped cream and 3/4 cup sliced strawberries.
- To make the frosting: Beat the margarine, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Spread over the sides of the cake, and pipe an edge of frosting around the top of the cake.
- Spread remaining whipped cream on cake top. Top with quartered strawberries.
