Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk

For the Strawberry Jam Layer:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

For the Strawberry Cream Frosting:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed

Directions:

. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
. While the cakes are baking, prepare the Strawberry Jam. In a saucepan, combine diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Allow it to cool.
. For the Strawberry Cream Frosting, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the pureed strawberries.
. Once the cakes are cooled, spread a layer of Strawberry Jam on top of one cake layer then add a layer of the strawberry frosting. Place the second cake and do the same then place the third cake layer.
. Frost the entire cake with the Strawberry Cream Frosting, covering it evenly.
. Decorate with fresh strawberries or additional jam if desired. Slice, serve, and enjoy this delightful creation!
