Strawberries and Cream Cake

Summer is here and so are all the local berries.  Inspired by this recipe, I decided to make this Strawberries and Cream cake for a family dinner last week.  I served very very large slices for everyone and they all enjoyed it.  The white cake itself is moist and pairs well with the strawberries and cream fillings.  I used both a chocolate cream cheese frosting and a whipped cream frosting.  I used the Yellow Cake recipe from my 'Better Homes and Garden Cook Book' and made a basic cream cheese frosting recipe by adding cocoa powder to it. 

I made two 9in round cakes and let them cool completely.  I iced the top of one of the cakes with the cream cheese frosting then even placed the sliced strawberries all over the top, then I evenly spread on a layer of whipped cream.  Then I placed the second cake on top of the other and repeated the same process.  I also did the same to the sides of the cake as well.  Feel free to use your favorite white or yellow cake recipe (or even the box cake mix would work well too) and your favorite type of creamy frostings and berries (I like the combination of whipped cream, chocolate, and strawberries).  Have fun creating your own berries and cream cake and enjoy!
