Strawberry Shortcake Trifles

Let me tell you though these things are dangerous! I’m generally pretty good and putting limits on myself since I have so many desserts around here all the time – with these though no no.

Goodbye self-restraint, hellooo strawberry shortcake trifles!

Ingredients
Cake

• 2 cups (284g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting pan
• 3 Tbsp (26g) cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 12 Tbsp (170g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups (315g) granulated sugar
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup (283g) sour cream (I used light because it's what I had on hand)

Strawberry layer

• 2 lbs fresh strawberries, diced, plus 12 more small whole for garnish
• 3 1/2 Tbsp (45g) granulated sugar

Cream layer

• 2 cups (475ml) heavy cream
• 6 oz (170g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar

Instructions
For the cake:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 18 by 13-inch rimmed baking sheet. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda and baking powder, set aside.
2. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment whip together butter, sugar and lemon zest until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs one at a time then mix in vanilla.
3. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and mix just until combined then add in 1/2 the sour cream and mix just until combined, repeat with flour and sour cream once more then end by mixing in last 1/3 of the flour mixture and mixing just until combined (scrape down bowl to ensure it's evenly combined).
