Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2.75 cups cake flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cups salted butter (room temperature)
  • 2.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 5 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 cup milk (room temperature)
  • 2 pounds fresh strawberries (washed, hulled, sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • pinch kosher salt

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 10x15-inch sheet pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Slowly add egg whites one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Alternately add flour mixture and milk, starting and ending with flour, mixing until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool to room temperature.
  7. While cake cools, prepare the strawberries by mixing sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons sugar. Refrigerate until ready.
  8. Make whipped cream: Chill bowl and whisk, then beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add heavy cream and whip to soft peaks. Add vanilla and salt, then whip to stiff peaks.
  9. Assemble: Slice cooled cake in half, layer with strawberries and whipped cream cheese topping, then top with the second cake layer and remaining whipped cream.
