  6. Evenly divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 18–22 minutes.
  7. Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks in a chilled mixing bowl.
  8. Combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and thickened strawberry purée in another bowl.
  9. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined.
  10. Assemble the first layer on a serving plate, adding strawberry cream and halved strawberries.
  11. Repeat the process for the second layer.
  12. Add the final layer and apply a thin crumb coat with strawberry cream.
  13. Chill for 15 minutes before finishing with a smooth layer of strawberry cream and garnish.

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter. Chill your cream for better whipping.
