1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
FROSTING

Instructions
CAKE
Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and prepare two 8” round cake pans by spraying with baking spray and lining the bottoms with parchment paper. Set aside.
Place quartered strawberries in blender and puree until smooth. Run through a fine mesh sieve over a measuring cup until you have 1 - 1 ¼ cups of juice. Do not discard berry pulp, set this along with any remaining pureed berries for the jam filling.
Pour strawberry juice into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until reduced to ⅓ cup (pour into a measuring cup to check, if it’s not reduced enough, return to the saucepan and continue to cook until it is). This usually takes about 10 minutes.
Once reduced, add ⅔ cup milk to the strawberry reduction and whisk together. If using food coloring, whisk that in here as well. Set aside.
In a large bowl using an electric mixer or in a stand mixer, beat together oil, butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until completely combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
With mixer on low speed, gradually alternate adding the flour mixture and strawberry/milk mixture, stirring until just combined after each addition. (I start and end with the flour and add the flour mixture in 4 parts and the milk mixture in 3 parts.)
Place egg whites in a separate clean, dry bowl, and beat on high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Using a spatula, gently fold egg whites into cake batter until completely combined (don’t use your electric mixer at this point or you will over-beat the batter). Divide cake batter evenly into prepared pans and bake on 350F for 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes then run a knife around the edges to loosen cakes from pan and invert onto cooling rack to cool completely. While cooling, prepare the jam filling.
JAM FILLING
Combine remaining strawberry pulp, ⅓ cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt in a small saucepan and whisk to combine.
Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and the whisk leaves a trail through the jam (this takes about 5-10 minutes).
Remove from heat, transfer to a heat-proof bowl, and place in the refrigerator to cool completely. Meanwhile, prepare your frosting.
WHIPPED CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Combine cream cheese, ½ cup powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat together until creamy and smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine remaining (1 cup, 125g) powdered sugar and heavy cream. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
With mixer on low speed, stir together the cream cheese and whipped cream until completely combined.
ASSEMBLY
Once cake and jam are completely cooled place one layer of cake on serving tray. Use a piping bag fitted with a round tip (I use an Ateco 808) to pipe a dam around the layer. Fill with your jam filling.
Top with second layer of cake. Cover the entire cake with frosting.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Cake will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
*May substitute 2 ⅔ cups (330g) all-purpose flour
For the red swirls in the decorative frosting on top of the cake, I just use a (food-safe) paintbrush to paint stripes of icing into the inside of my piping bag and then fill it with icing. You can see how I do this in my Pinata Cupcake recipe post.

I just made this strawberry cake and it was delicious 😋! I love the jam because it adds another layer of flavor to the cake. The frosting was light, airy and not too sweet! This is the best strawberry cake that I ever had! It has a few extra steps but it is definitely worth it! This is a special cake for any occasion. Also I made your lemon curd with all the extra egg yolks. I never had lemon curd before and now it’s my favorite! Thanks Sam!!! You’re the best! 😁

I almost never leave comments in videos but.this.cake!! it was so good I baked it twice this week. Once for my birthday and once more at my family's request. I've baked many cakes over the years, and this one was the best. It was fluffy and fruity perfection. I sliced each cake in half to make it into a four layer cake. I highly recommend it

Great recipe! Thank you so much! I have searched high and low for a REAL strawberry cake recipe and not a fake white cake with strawberries or a fake strawberry jello cake. Also in my opinion cream cheese is the ONLY frosting to use on a cake. Strawberry cake is my absolutely favorite cake so really thank you SO MUCH! This is a 5 star recipe!

Hi Sam, I made your strawberry cake for my mother’s 85 birthday and it was the hit of the party. Anyone that was not going to eat cake ended up having a piece when other’s that were eating it said it was beyond fabulous. The cake was very moist, the jam was sweet and a bit tart at the same time and the fluffiness of the icing really brought it all together. Making of the cake was labour intensive (took me 2 hrs) as you mentioned but well worth the work. Another home run. Finding you and your channel has really upped my baking ability. This is the third recipe I have made and each one has been so tasty. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

This cake is so absolutely amazing!!!!!!! Hey Sam, remember me? I’ve now made so many of your wonderful recipes but this..THIS...CAKE...IS...UNREAL! I’ve made it twice now (yes, still making those birthday cakes for my daughters stuffed animals...hello COVID). The first time I used store bought strawberries and it ranks tied top 1 cake (alongside your Best Chocolate Cake). Then we went strawberry picking and made it again with fresh strawberries. Crazy crazy crazy good. Yes, this recipe takes slightly a little longer to make but it went by fast with the kids helping and enjoying the decorating. Sam, you continue to do such excellent work and your recipes and voice echo throughout our home on a regular basis. Thank you.

Oh em gee! Just made this this morning and enjoying a slice right now and it is so yummy! I was worried how sweet it'd be with the strawberries I used but it's just got the right level of sweetness and it's so fluffy. I ended up just baking the cake in a 9x13 pan because I didn't feel like making frosting or stacking the cake lol! Definitely a keeper in my book!
