Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 TBSP cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 6 TBSP unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • Zest of a small lemon
  • 3/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (room temperature)
  • 1 lb strawberries (rinsed, dried, and cut into small cubes)
  • 2 TBSP white granulated sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (cold)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the lemon cake batter by mixing flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, butter, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, eggs, and sour cream.
  2. Pour the batter into a greased pan and bake for about 15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. While the cake bakes, toss cubed strawberries with sugar and let sit to release juices.
  4. Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth; whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form and fold into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Once cooled, cut the cake into cubes. In a trifle dish or glasses, layer cake cubes, strawberries, and whipped cream cheese mixture until all ingredients are used.
