Steps:
- For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter in a large bowl until smooth. You'll probably want to use an electric mixer for this so you don't end up with lumps. Stop every now and then to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in sugar, then jam.
- Beat heavy cream in a separate, chilled, bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into frosting. Cover; chill for a couple of hours until it's firm enough to spread and won't slide off your cake.
- For the cake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add sour cream, and beat for 30 seconds. Add flour mixture in three additions, beating to blend after each addition.
- Divide batter into prepared pans. Bake cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is light golden brown, 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes.
- Run a sharp knife around the edges of the pans, then turn cakes out onto a rack to cool completely.
- Using a serrated knife to gently slice off any domed tops of the cake so they're flatter. Place one half, bottom-side up, on a cake plate. Spread 2 T of strawberry jam over the cake, then spread 3/4 c of the frosting over the jam. Arrange 3/4 c of the sliced strawberries on top of the frosting in a single layer. Repeat two more times with cake layer, jam, frosting, and strawberries. Top with remaining cake layer, bottom side up.
- Spread two cups of frosting over the top and sides of the cake in a thin layer, then frost with remaining frosting. Stir remaining jam to loosen, then spoon teaspoonfuls onto the top and sides of the cake. Use the back of a spoon to swirl jam decoratively into the frosting.
- If you won't be cutting the cake for more than an hour or so, store it chilled until you're ready.

VANILLA LAYER CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES
I modified the candy bar cake into a strawberry layer cake that has been a huge hit. I am now known in my circle of friends as the cake lady. For little girls' birthdays I sometimes add food coloring to the frosting for a more festive look. Otherwise, the white frosting with the bright red strawberries is beautiful. I get asked for the recipe every time I make it.

VANILLA CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY CREAM FROSTING
This is a wonderful vanilla cake with a sweet cream cheese and strawberry frosting. from Bon Appetite Magazine. I This is an AWESOME cake! You can choose to use 2 /9 inch pans or 3/9 inch pans. Even if you use 3 cakes, make sure you split them, I make that suggestion due to the horrible review that was recently left. I am trying to dummy proof this recipe, if you know what you are doing then go for it. This cake really is worth the time it takes to make it. The frosting is delicate and so, so delicious! The cake is moist and dense with a rich vanilla, butter flavor. I have gotten nothing but rave reviews on this cake. Also, this is a huge cake! It will probably serve more than 12-16. I found that 6 cups of strawberries was a bit too much for me but it depends on how many strawberries you like. After reading the very bad review left recently, I must insist that if you are looking for a lowfat cake please DO NOT make and review my cake. The nutrition info is CLEARLY posted. I guess some folks still take out their frustration on line, clearly.

Steps:
- For the frosting, use the electric mixer to beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of the bowl. Beat in sugar, then jam. Beat cream in medium bowl until peaks form. Fold whipped cream into frosting. Cover; chill until firm enough to spread, about 2 hours.
- Cake:.
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Butter and flour 2 or 3 9-inch cake pans with 2 inch high sides. Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add sour cream, beat 30 seconds. Add flour mixture in three additions, beating just to blend after each addition. Divide the batter between the prepared pans.
- Bake until tester comes out clean. About 45- 50 minutes. Cool cakes in pan for 15 minutes and then loosen with knife and turn onto rack to cool completely.
- Using a large serrated knife, cut each cake horizontally in half. Place one cake, cut side up, on cake plate. Spread 2 tablespoons strawberry jam over ( I like to warm it slightly in microwave and add some boiling water so I can brush it on the cake), then 3/4 cup frosting, and 3/4 cup sliced berries, arranging in a single layer.
- Repeat this 2 more times with each layer of cake.
- Spread 2 cups frosting on top of cake and over sides of cake.
- Optional, spread remaining jam (room temp) on top and sides of cake (swirl).
- Cut cake into wedges and top with remaining strawberries.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the batter come together more easily and result in a more even bake.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a neater finish, use a piping bag to frost the cake.
- Decorate the cake with fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Conclusion:
This vanilla cake with strawberry cream frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, and the frosting is light and creamy. The fresh strawberries add a pop of color and flavor. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
