This is Ree Drummond’s recipe but I make it with two cakes, so I double the cake recipe (recipe doubled below).\u00a0 My family loves this cake!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CAKE INGREDIENTS:
\n\u2022 2 Sticks + 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Softened
\n\u2022 3 cups Granulated Sugar
\n\u2022 6 whole Large Eggs
\n\u2022 1 cup Sour Cream, Room Temperature
\n\u2022 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
\n\u2022 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
\n\u2022 6 Tablespoons Cornstarch
\n\u2022 1 teaspoon Salt
\n\u2022 2 teaspoons Baking Soda<\/p>\n

STRAWBERRY INGREDIENTS:
\n\u2022 2 pounds Strawberries, Hulled & Halved
\n\u2022 6 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar<\/p>\n

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING INGREDIENTS:
\n\u2022 12oz of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (1 1\/2 packages), Room Temperature
\n\u2022 3 sticks Unsalted Butter
\n\u2022 2-1\/4 lbs Powdered Sugar, Sifted
\n\u2022 1-1\/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
\n\u2022 1\/4 teaspoon Salt<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS:<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT: Be sure to use a cake pan that\u2019s at least 2 inches deep! Before baking, the batter should not fill the pan more than halfway.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.\u00a0 Grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, and corn starch.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cream butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well each time. Add sour cream and vanilla and mix until combined. Add sifted dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just barely combined.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Pour into greased and floured 8-inch cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes, or until no longer jiggly. Remove from cake pan as soon as you pull it out of the oven, and place on a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stem strawberries and slice them in half from bottom to top. Place into a bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Stir together and let sit for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, mash the strawberries in two batches. Sprinkle each half with sugar and allow to sit for another 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Make icing: combine cream cheese, butter, sifted powdered sugar, vanilla, and dash of salt in a mixing bowl. Mix until very light and fluffy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 Spread strawberries evenly over each cake, pouring on all the juices. Place cakes into the freezer for five minutes, just to make icing easier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 Remove from freezer. Use a little less than 1\/3 of the icing to spread over the top of the strawberries on the bottom layer. Place the second layer on top. Add half of the remaining icing to the top spreading evenly, then spread the remaining icing around the sides.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 Leave plain OR garnish with strawberry halves.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT: Cake is best when served slightly cool. The butter content in the icing will cause it to soften at room temperature. For best results, store in the fridge!<\/em><\/p>\n
