Strawberry Cream Cake Recipe

Prep: 45 min. Bake: 35 min. + cooling

Yield: 12 Servings

45 35 80

Ingredients

6 eggs, separated
1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons water
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
2 cups whole fresh strawberries

Directions

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
In another bowl, beat egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in the lemon juice, oil and water. Combine flour and salt; add to yolk mixture.
Beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold a fourth of the egg whites into the batter, then fold in remaining whites.
Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 325° for 35-40 minutes or until or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
In a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form.
Run a knife around sides and center tube of pan; remove cake.
Cut into three horizontal layers. Place one layer on a serving plate; top with some of the whipped cream and sliced strawberries. Repeat. Top with remaining cake layer; spread remaining whipped cream over top and sides of cake. Arrange remaining sliced berries on sides of cake.
Cut whole berries in half; arrange on cake top. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12 servings.

Made this today using (2) 9" round cake pans instead of the tube pan. Came out great. Had to bake about 30-35 minutes.

This didn't turn out like the picture! I didn't really care for the sponge type cake. Better luck to you.

This cake is good and so pretty.. so light and refreshing! And quite easy too. I baked mine in a square pan since I didn't have a tube pan.. split it into 3 layers and decorated as per the recipe. I highly recommended others to try it.

I made this cake for a family function. Everyone loved it!!! Cake assembly does require some effort but the end results are delicous. The only change that I made was adding more sugar to the whipped topping. Thank you for sharing

This cake is really AWEsome. It looks fantastic and tastes even better! It takes a little extra work but it is worth it in the end. My three-year-old gets her stool and helps me with everything. My relatives are always asking when I am going to make it again - and I am happy to oblige!
