Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 large eggs
- 0.333 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 0.333 cup strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0 optional: mint leaves for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them and lining the bottoms with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until smooth.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 7
To prepare the cheesecake filling, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl until creamy and smooth.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 9
Slice the completely cooled cake layers in half horizontally, creating four thin layers.
Step 10
Place one cake layer on a serving platter and spread a generous layer of the cheesecake filling on top. Repeat with the remaining layers, ending with a layer of cheesecake filling on top.
Step 11
To make the strawberry topping, combine the strawberry jam and water in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth and slightly thinned. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Step 12
Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the torte in a decorative pattern, then brush the strawberry jam glaze over them for a shiny finish.
Step 13
Chill the torte in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.
Step 14
Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving. Slice and enjoy!
