How To Make Strawberry Punch Bowl Cake Recipe

For Cake:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2: In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer for about 1 minute until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in flour mixture just until combined (do not overbeat). Stir in chopped strawberries by hand until just combined.

Step 3: Divide batter among two greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans. Bake cakes until a toothpick inserted in the middle come out clean, about 45 minutes.

Let cool in pans for 5 minutes, then remove from pans. Let cool entirely on wire racks before frosting.

For Cream Cheese Frosting:

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer for about 1 minute until light and fluffy. Add the cream cheese in thirds, beating well after each addition.

Add sugar and beat until combined. Add vanilla and beat until creamy, about 3 minutes.

For Filling:

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine strawberries, lemonade, and powdered sugar. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.

Step 2: To assemble, frost one cake layer and place the filling in the center. Spread half of the remaining frosting over the filling.

Top with the second layer of cake and top with the remaining frosting. Garnish as desired. Refrigerate before serving if not serving immediately (the frosting will last up to 1 day).

Step 3: Enjoy!
