  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 115 g unsalted butter (melted)
  • 100 g light-tasting oil
  • 100 g granulated sugar

  • 100 g powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine strawberries, granulated sugar, and water. Cook on medium heat until the strawberries break down and thicken. Let cool.

  3. In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, oil, and sugars. Add eggs and milk, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gradually stir in dry ingredients until combined. Pour batter into greased pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool.
  5. Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and strawberry jam; mix in diced strawberries gently.
  6. Once cakes are cool, layer with strawberry cream cheese frosting in between. Decorate the top with halved strawberries.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries for best flavor. Allow cakes to cool completely before icing.
