Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups cake flour, sifted
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • tsp almond extract (optional)
  • tsp salt
  • 1 cups heavy whipping cream
  • cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • 1 cup fresh chopped strawberries
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tbsp strawberry puree or juice
  • 1 tbsp milk (as needed for consistency)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh halved strawberries (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing in vanilla extract. Sift together cake flour and salt; gradually incorporate into the wet mixture.
  4. Divide batter evenly among prepared pans and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cakes before removing from pans.
  5. For the strawberry filling, whip cream until soft peaks form, then mix in powdered sugar and vanilla. Fold in softened cream cheese and strawberry jam before adding chopped strawberries.
  6. Assemble by layering the pound cakes with the strawberry cream filling in between each layer. Frost the top and sides with remaining filling.
  7. Prepare glaze by mixing powdered sugar with strawberry puree until smooth; drizzle over chilled cake.
