Ingredients

Scale

Cake Base:

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

Strawberry Cream Filling:

  • 1½ cups strawberries, chopped

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • ½ tsp vanilla

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

Jelly Layer (Optional):

  • 1 cup strawberry jelly or red fruit jelly, sliced or cubed

White Chocolate Drip:

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

  • ½ cup heavy cream

Toppings:

  • Fresh strawberries

  • Seedless grapes

  • Whipped cream rosettes

Instructions

  • Bake the Cake:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two rectangular pans.
    Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy. Stir in vanilla. Gently fold in flour, baking powder, and salt.
    Divide between pans and bake for 20–22 minutes. Cool completely, then slice each in half horizontally to make 4 thin layers.

  • Prepare Strawberry Cream:
    In a saucepan, cook chopped strawberries with sugar and lemon juice for 5–7 minutes until softened. Cool completely.
    Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla to stiff peaks. In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Fold whipped cream and cooled strawberry mixture into cream cheese.

  • Assemble the Layers:
    Place one cake layer on a tray. Spread a layer of strawberry cream. Optionally, add jelly slices or extra chopped strawberries.
    Repeat with remaining cake layers and cream. Chill to set before adding drip.

  • Make White Chocolate Drip:
    Heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over white chocolate chips. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
    Let cool slightly, then spoon or pipe around cake edges for drip effect.

  • Decorate:
    Top with whipped cream rosettes, fresh strawberries, and seedless grapes for a vibrant finish.

Notes

  • Chill the assembled cake for at least 1 hour before applying the white chocolate drip for best effect.

  • Use a serrated knife for clean cake layer slicing.

  • The jelly layer is optional but adds a beautiful texture contrast.
