What You Need
To make the strawberry filling for your cake, you'll need a few ingredients. You will need 12 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 pound of fresh strawberries. You will also need 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Prepare the Strawberries
The first step is to prepare the strawberries. Start by washing and drying them. Then, dice the strawberries into small pieces. Place the diced strawberries into a bowl and set aside.
Make the Filling
In a separate bowl, cream together the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Once the mixture is light and fluffy, fold in the diced strawberries. Then, set the filling aside.
Assemble the Cake
Now it's time to assemble the cake. Place the bottom layer of the cake onto a plate or cake stand. Spread a layer of the strawberry filling over the cake. Repeat the process with the remaining two layers, ending with the top layer. Finally, spread the remaining filling over the top of the cake.
Enjoy!
Now your cake is ready to be served. Cut a slice and enjoy the sweet, creamy, and decadent strawberry filling!
