Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cake
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tbls butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream room temp
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 3 tbls cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
Strawberries
  • 1 pound or a lil more
  • 3 tbls sugar
Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 8 ounce pack of room temp cream cheese
  • 1 cup butter room temp
  • 1 1/2 pounds powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp salt if you used unsalted butter you can leave out

Method
 

  1. Cake: Beat butter & sugar til fluffy, add your eggs one at a time (mixing in-between) add the sour cream and vanilla and give it a good mix to stir it altogether!
  2. Sift your flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda
  3. Add it to your and mix (I'm a lil anal and put it in one of my big measuring bowls… it was about 4 1/2 cups batter)
  4. Place in 2 greased pans (about 2 1/4 cups in each pan)
  5. Bake for about 25 mins in preheated 350 oven… or until nice and golden!
  6. Let them cool completely! I’m serious! Or you’ll have yourself a hot mess when putting it all together!
  7. Clean and cut your strawberries in half and then mash them up… you can use a potato masher or I used my meat masher (cause I hate my potato masher… I need a new one)
  8. sprinkle the sugar over them and mix… now set aside and let them get all juicy and yummy till you need them next!!
  9. Cream Cheese Frosting…Put all the ingredients in the mixer and turn that baby on! Mix it till it looks good! (it already tastes good… no worries there)
  10. Slice the top of your cakes off so all that super yummy strawberry juice saturates the cake! Put 1/2 of your strawberries on
  11. Now top it with some of that frosting!
  12. Plop the second cake on top and repeat the last few steps!
  13. Finish it off with the remaining frosting!

Notes

Oven temp 350.

This is such a super yummy cake and guess what?!   None of it came from a box or pre-packaged wrap… its all real & fresh ingredients! (the way it should be)

  1. I think the icing is too much, real whipped cream is much better on strawberry shortcake, just my opinion Sandy
