How To Make strawberry jam cake

Test Kitchen Tips

When using jam in layers, if you put a ring of frosting around the edge of the cake with a piping bag it keeps the jam from bleeding out of the edges and mixing in the frosting.

Step 1

Grease and flour three 9 inch round pans, set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 2

Add egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 3

Beat in the strawberries, sour cream and extract.
Step 4

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Step 5

Add to the creamed mixture.
Step 6

Transfer batter to prepared pans.
Step 7

Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool before removing from pan to wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8

Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy and add the confectioners sugar, strawberries and extract; beat until smooth. Place bottom cake layer on your serving plate; top with jam and then frosting, repeat layers.
Step 9

If you choose, garnish with sliced strawberries.
