Description

A light and airy sponge cake layered with fresh strawberries and cream cheese frosting, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
  2. In a bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Sift the flour and baking powder, then fold gently into the egg mixture.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, slice the cake in half horizontally.
  7. Spread sliced strawberries on the bottom layer, then whip together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, spreading on top of the strawberries.
  8. Place the top layer of cake back on, and frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator before serving.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs and cream cheese. Allow the frosted cake to chill before serving.
