  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice

For the Filling

  • 2 cream cheese blocks 16 ounces total
  • 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
  • 4 tsp strawberry preserves melted

For the Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups whipped cream

Instructions

For the Cake

  • Once cake has cooled to room temperature in pan, cut cake into cubes and set aside.

For the Berries

  • In a large bowl, add sliced strawberries, granulated sugar and lemon or lime juice. 
  • Toss together and set aside until natural juices develop.

For the Filling

  • In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and the melted strawberry preserves; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended and smooth. 
  • Add food coloring if you desire it to be a pink color. Stir in a 1/2 cup of whipped cream. Set aside.

  • Spread a layer of the filling next then add mascerated strawberries then top with whipped cream layer. Repeat the steps as much as possible until you reach the top of the dish then top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberries then refrigerate until serving.

Notes

Cake notes: Cake recipe should be halved and baked in a 8x8” pan and then baked for about 45-55 minutes or until baked through. After cake has cooled then cut cake into cubes.
Simply cover your baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, ensuring no air gets in to maintain its freshness, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. While this delightful dessert is best enjoyed fresh, keeping it chilled ensures the layers stay sumptuous and the flavors continue to meld beautifully.
