Ingredients
  

Cake

  • ¾ Cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 1 ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • ¼ Teaspoon Almond Extract
  • 1 ½ Cup Cake Flour
  • ½ Cup Almond Flour
  • 2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Cup Whole Milk

Decorations

  • 2 Cups Strawberries

Frosting

  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese 1 block
  • ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

Instructions
 

Cake

  • Preheat oven to 325° Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch circular pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until soft and fluffy (about 4-5 minutes)
  • Add eggs, one at a time, until fully combined. Add in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate medium bowl, sift together cake flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Measure out milk and set aside.
  • Alternate adding the flour and milk into the butter mixture. Add about 1/3 of each at a time and let combine. Do not overmix.
  • Transfer to the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Cover with tin foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes cleanly out of the center. Let cool completely in pan before removing.
  • Using a 7-inch cutter, cut out 6 circles. Set circles aside and remove scraps.

Decorations

  • Remove the heads of the strawberries and arrange them on the top of each cake.

Frosting

  • In a large bowl, whisk together cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy (about 4-5 minutes). Slowly add in heavy whipping cream and whisk until the desired consistency is reached. Should be near stiff peaks. More cream can be used for a thinner frosting.
  • Spoon frosting into a piping bag with a star shaped nozzle. Decorate around the strawberries on the top of each mini cake.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to store the cakes in the fridge as the strawberries need to stay cold.
