Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare three 8-inch cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined.
  3. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in vanilla extract.
  4. Sift together cake flour and salt before gradually folding into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Divide batter among prepared pans and bake for 30-40 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
  6. Cool the cakes in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  7. For the filling, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form, then fold in cream cheese mixed with strawberry jam and chopped strawberries.
  8. Assemble the cake by layering with strawberry cream filling between each layer, then frost the outside with remaining filling.
  9. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
