Time 1h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 21

5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 eggs, room temperature
1 ½ tablespoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup sour cream, room temperature
¼ cup lemon juice
1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
5 cups powdered sugar, or more as needed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice for the reduction into an electric blender and puree until smooth.
  • Pour strawberry mixture into a large saucepan and simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until reduced by 1/2, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup plus 5 tablespoons for cake and frosting; remainder will be used as cake filling.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat sugar and butter using an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Mix in lemon zest and vanilla extract. Stir in 1/3 of the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in 1/2 of the sour cream, and 1/2 of the lemon juice. Repeat alternating additions of flour mixture and sour cream plus lemon juice until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
  • Place 1/2 of the batter into a separate bowl. Fold in 1/2 cup strawberry reduction. Place dollops of both lemon and strawberry-lemon batters alternately into the prepared cake pans. Swirl batters together with a butter knife.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes in the pans before removing and transferring cakes to a wire rack to cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes.
  • While cakes are cooling, beat butter for frosting with an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until incorporated. Mix in 5 tablespoons strawberry reduction, lemon juice, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and salt until combined. Pour in heavy cream and beat until frosting is smooth and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add additional powdered sugar if too thin, or additional heavy cream if too thick, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  • Place 1 cooled cake layer on a serving platter and cover top with a thin layer of frosting. Pipe a border around the edge of the cake layer using a piping bag filled with frosting, leaving the center open. Pour remaining strawberry reduction into the center of the border, making sure it doesn't overflow over the sides. Place second cake layer on top and continue to frost as desired. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Heat the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until the sugar and the gelatin are dissolved, set the pan in a bowl of cold water (do not add ice), and stir the mixture until it is just cool but still liquid. In a chilled large bowl with an electric mixer beat the cream until it holds soft peaks, with the motor running add the lemon mixture, beating until the mixture is just combined, and fold in the diced strawberries gently but thoroughly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan. Just be sure to line the bottom with parchment paper so the cake doesn't stick.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought lemon curd for the filling. Just be sure to choose a high-quality curd that's made with real lemons.
  • Garnish the cake with fresh strawberries and lemon zest before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
