Strawberries and Cream Swirl Cake

Jump to Recipe

This Strawberries and Cream Swirl Cake is a stunning layered cake that’s moist and loaded with fresh strawberries and sweet whipped cream frosting!

Strawberries and Cream Swirl Cake

This three-layer cake is moist and full of strawberry flavor. The actual cakes are swirled with pure strawberry puree before being baked to beautiful perfection. And then they’re layered with more strawberries and lots of freshly whipped cream frosting, creating a stunning cake that’s almost too pretty to eat. Key word being…ALMOST!

Strawberries and Cream Swirl Cake

Love loved having my sweet friends, Becca & Carolyn, come over to bake this fabulous cake with me!

Strawberries and Cream Swirl Cake

Both of these girls are extremely talented and creative both in motherhood and in life. They inspire me and encourage me everyday and I adore them so much.

And of course they’re both naturals in the kitchen. I just stood back with my camera and let them take on this beautiful cake.

Carolyn is an AMAZING artist (click here to see her work. She’s soooo talented!) so I’m sure she was chuckling inside as she was swirling the fresh strawberry puree into the cake batter. I like to tease her that food is about the only art I can do. 😉

And sweet Becca might shy away from admitting it, but her eye for fashion and interior design is beautiful and impressive. She always looks fabulous and her home is a dream. One of these days I’m going to beg her to rescue my closet and a few rooms in our home. Love her style!

So I’m sure Becca appreciated me putting her in charge of layering the cake and of course it turned out perfect! 😉

A day in the kitchen I will cherish forever! And lucky for y’all, this stunning cake recipe came of it.

Description

This Strawberries and Cream Swirl Cake is a stunning layered cake that’s moist and loaded with fresh strawberries and sweet whipped cream frosting!


Ingredients

  • Cake:
  • 2 cups hulled and quartered fresh strawberries
  • 3/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • Cream Frosting:
  • 2 cups cold heaving whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups hulled & sliced fresh strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of three 9-inch round baking pans with parchment paper then lightly grease and flour. Set aside.
  2. Puree the strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the oil and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, until each one is well combined. Beat in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk to the ingredients in the mixing bowl, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat on low speed until batter is well combined and smooth.
  5. Divide batter evenly among prepared cake pans. Place 4 tablespoon-sized spoonfuls of strawberry puree on top of the batter in each cake pan. Using a table knife, swirl the strawberry puree into the cake batter.
  6. Bake the cakes for 22-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 more minutes.
  7. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the 2 cups of sliced strawberries for layering. When the cakes are almost cool, beat the heaving whipping cream and powdered sugar with the whisk attachment until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes on medium-high speed.
  8. Place one of the cake layers, swirled side up, on a cake stand or platter. Spread the top with a thick layer of frosting. Arrange half of the strawberry slices over the frosting. Repeat with another layer of cake, whipped cream frosting and strawberries. Place the final cake, swirled side up, on top of the cake. Scoop remaining frosting onto the top of the cake and garnish with a whole fresh strawberry.

    Could I substitute almond flour for regular flour and swerve sugar substitute for this recipe?

      Hi Amanda! I would need to test the recipe with these substitutes to say for sure, but it’s certainly worth a try. The almond flour will definitely make it a denser cake. I hope it turns out great for you!

    Hi! I tried your recipe and when it came out of the oven and when I froze the cake layers there was a nice red colored swirl from the strawberries. But today when we cut the cake the red had faded and was very close to the color of the regular cake batter. Have you ever seen this? I like to make my cakes ahead of those and freeze them so I donโ€™t have to do everything at one emerged . If you have any suggestions Iโ€™d appreciate them. Thanks! Leah

      Hi Leah! I’ve never frozen this cake before enjoying it so I’m thinking that had something to do with the strawberry swirl blending into the cake. The added moisture from freezing and defrosting probably caused the swirl to lose its thickness and bleed into the cake. I would recommend not freezing it next time. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
