Fresh Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Filling: A Perfect Summer Delight 🍓🍰

Fresh strawberry cake with a luscious strawberry filling, perfect for any occasion. This cake is soft, fluffy, and packed with the natural sweetness of strawberries.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (mashed, for cake)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (diced, for filling)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for filling)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream together butter and sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the mashed strawberries. Mix until smooth.
  6. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. To make the filling, combine diced strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until thickened. Let cool before using.
  9. Once the cake and filling are cool, layer the cake with the strawberry filling in between the layers. Frost the cake with your preferred frosting.

Notes

Fresh strawberries are key to achieving the best flavor for both the cake and the filling. Use a light frosting like whipped cream or buttercream to complement the cake’s sweetness.
