Can I use sugar-free strawberry jelly?

What type of cream cheese do I need to use for the frosting?

Be sure to use full-fat cream cheese to ensure that your frosting turns out perfectly. It doesn’t matter the brand of cream cheese, as long as you have eight ounces of it to use to prepare the frosting by combining it with other ingredients, including heavy cream, vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar.

Can I add fresh strawberries to the jelly filling?

Of course. If you’d like to pack in even more strawberries, rinse some fresh strawberries under the sink and then dice them into small pieces before mixing them in with your jelly and using that as the filling for this light and fluffy sweet cake.

Recipe Notes & Tips

1. You may think that assembling the cake is difficult, but don’t worry about making it perfect. The purpose of this cake is to have a rustic appearance while tasting good, so don’t overthink it.

2. Feel free to use cake strips to ensure that your cake rises evenly and provides you with a flat surface for applying your frosting.

3. When you’re combining your ingredients to make the cake batter, be sure to avoid overmixing. If you overmix, the gluten can overdevelop more than you’d like, leaving you with a crumbly cake.

Substitutions:
Melted butter – Vegetable oil can be used instead.
Sour cream – Plain yogurt may be used instead.

Baking Tips:
1. Do not overmix the cake batter once the flour has been added as this will cause the gluten to over develop which can result in a rubbery or crumbly cake. Cake strips are a great tool for making cakes rise as evenly as possible with a flat surface.
2. When assembling the cake, do not worry about making it look perfect. This cake is a little rustic so it’s ok if it is imperfect.
