Instructions
 

Cake Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 325 F and spray and line an 8 or 9 inch round or square baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add oil and eggs and beat again for another 2 minutes. Mix in vanilla and sour cream.
  • Add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, in three parts, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
  • Pour the batter into prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for about 28-33 minutes or until a light golden brown around the edges, and a toothpick comes out clean from the middle. Set aside to cool.

Whip Cream Frosting Preparation

  • In a small bowl, blend ½ cup powdered sugar with 4 oz of cream cheese until completely smooth.
  • In a medium size bowl, whip heavy cream, vanilla and ½ cup powdered sugar together on high until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold the two mixtures together until well blended.

Fruit Preparation

  • Cut strawberries and mix with a little sugar if needed to sweeten more.

Assembly

  • Frost cake with whipping cream frosting. Place strawberries on top before serving.

Notes

Cakes will have the best results if made with room temperature ingredients. Avoid adding the strawberries until right before serving.
