All-American Strawberry Layer Cake

SERVES: 10

CHILL TIME: 2 Hr

COOK TIME: 35 Min

All-American Strawberry Layer Cake is the perfect dessert to serve to your "berry" best company. It's a light, fruity cream cake that's long on goodness and short on work.

What You'll Need

1 (18.25-ounce) package yellow cake mix, batter prepared according to package directions
3 pints fresh strawberries, hulled
2 cups (1 pint) heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

What to Do

Bake cake batter according to package directions for two 9-inch round layers; let cool. Slice each cake layer in half horizontally, making 4 layers, and place 1 layer on a serving platter. Slice 2 pints of strawberries and set aside.
In a large bowl, with an electric beater on high speed, beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread one-fourth of the whipped cream mixture over top of first cake layer. Top with one-third of the sliced strawberries. Repeat with remaining layers, topping final layer with remaining pint of whole strawberries, hulled-side down.
Cover loosely and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Note

You can bake the cake layers ahead of time and freeze them until needed. Just make sure to wrap each layer well.

I made this for a work birthday, and it was a hit. Everyone said it was light, which was good as it was an over a 100 degree day that day.

It is very difficult to add recipes to my recipe collection. Even though I am logged in to access my recipe collection, every time I select a different recipe I have to log in again. What's up with this.
