Instructions

Make the Sponge:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch cake pans. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs one by one, then vanilla. Alternate adding flour and milk until combined. Bake 25–30 minutes. Cool completely.
Prepare the Strawberry Filling:
Cook strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat for 10 minutes until thickened. Let cool.
Make the Whipped Cream Frosting:
Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Chill until needed.
Assemble the Cake:
Layer cake, whipped cream, and strawberry filling. Repeat for all layers. Frost the outside with whipped cream. Chill for 30 minutes.
Add the Strawberry Drip:
Warm strawberry puree, add white chocolate and cream, mix until smooth. Cool slightly, then drip over cake edges. Decorate with fresh strawberries and crumbs.

Notes

For a deeper strawberry flavor, add a few drops of natural strawberry extract to your filling.
Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before slicing for the cleanest layers.
You can substitute whipped frosting with stabilized mascarpone cream for a richer taste.
Always use room temperature ingredients for an even, fluffy cake texture.
