Instructions

  1. In a small pot, mix 500 g of strawberries, 50 g of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of water. Cook over medium heat until softened, mash slightly and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans.

  4. In another bowl, mix melted butter, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk, mixing well.
  6. Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until done. Let cakes cool before removing from pans.
  7. Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until well blended. Add strawberry jam and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Stir in finely diced strawberries.
  8. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread frosting on top. Add the second layer and frost the top and sides. Decorate with halved strawberries on top.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries for best flavor. Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for smooth mixing. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
