Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ¾ cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
5 large egg whites
2 cups pureed strawberries
½ cup sour cream
2 teaspoons strawberry extract
3 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup pureed strawberries
½ teaspoon strawberry extract
6 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch cake pans.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add egg whites one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in pureed strawberries, sour cream, and strawberry extract.
  • Sift cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add gradually to the butter mixture, beating until combined. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each layer comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing and cooling completely on wire racks, about 30 minutes more.
  • While cakes cool, beat cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add pureed strawberries and strawberry extract. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until frosting is smooth.
  • Frost and assemble the cooled cake layers. Decorate the top with sliced strawberries.

This recipe was easy to follow and the cake turned out beautifully. The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the frosting.
