Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line them with waxed paper.

  3. In a bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.

  4. In a separate bowl, beat together the white sugar, butter, and gelatin until fluffy. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

  5. Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk into the sugar mixture, stirring well after each addition, until a smooth batter forms.

  6. Stir in the vanilla extract and strawberries until well combined.

  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of both cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.

  9. In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the cream cheese, white chocolate, and heavy whipping cream until the white chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined (about 5 minutes).

  10. Stir in the confectioners' sugar until a smooth frosting forms. Allow the frosting to cool and set.

  11. Spread a layer of frosting over the top of one cake. Place the second cake on top of the frosting layer. Frost the top of the second cake and the sides of both cakes with the remaining frosting.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones?

Can I substitute dark chocolate for white chocolate?

When stored properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the cake will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. However, it's so delicious that it's unlikely to last that long!

Can I make this cake in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the cake layers, frosting, and filling in advance. Store them separately and assemble the cake just before serving for the best results.

Can I use a different type of frosting?

Absolutely! While white chocolate frosting pairs perfectly with this cake, you can use other frostings such as cream cheese frosting or buttercream frosting if you prefer.

Can I make this cake gluten-free?

Yes, you can make this cake gluten-free by using gluten-free flour instead of regular flour. Just make sure to adjust the measurements accordingly and follow a gluten-free baking recipe.

Can I decorate the cake with additional toppings?
