A delicious strawberry shortcake sheet cake topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream frosting, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ cups all purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1¾ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable or canola oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 large egg whites, room temperature
- 2½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup milk, preferably whole or 2%, room temperature
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened to cool room temp
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups chilled heavy whipping cream
- 5 cups sliced fresh strawberries (just under 2 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt until combined. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer, beat sugar, oil, eggs, egg whites, and extracts until combined.
- Add the sour cream and beat until combined.
- Add half of the flour mixture, beating until just combined.
- While still beating, slowly add milk, then the remaining flour mixture. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed, being careful not to overmix.
- Grease a 9×13 metal baking pan. Pour the batter into the pan and spread into an even layer, removing any air bubbles.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly add heavy cream while mixing, then increase speed to high until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the frosting onto the cooled cake. Stir strawberries with jam and spoon over the top if serving immediately. If not, refrigerate the frosted cake and add the strawberries just before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of strawberries based on preference.
