In reply to Corrie. My layers are generally 1.25-1.5" tall, depending on the cake. If the texture is dense, it could be from using cold ingredients or over mixing the batter once the dry ingredients have been added.

I’m wondering, about how tall are the cake layers once baked? I’m trying to estimate if my cakes are rising enough or if i’m doing it wrong. They always seem very dense and not light and fluffy like the photos show.

My daughter has been on a baking kick and after last weeks amazing oreo cake, we were craving vanilla and went with this. Ugh! It’s just not great. We didn’t even add all the pure and it ruined the cake. We should have stuck with just vanilla frosting, for whatever reason, Florida strawberries stink and that smell ruins the taste. Too many flavors on this one. 6 hours, $$, and so much dishes and cleaning to do and we don’t like it 😭

In reply to Elyse Goeckner. Are you piping an outer edge of buttercream?

Okay I am struggling keeping the form on this cake, I feel like it’s the while cream center not being stable enough? Fighting the leaning tower of cake 😂

This looks very yummy! Has anyone tried it without the cookie dough? I like the idea of a light fluffy cake for my daughters first birthday.

I had no trouble with the purée but the cookie layer would not hold together to put in the cake. The cookie balls for the top were very sweet too. I have made other Cakes by Courtney that were much better-Oreo cake is the best!!

How far in advance can I make this cake?

The cake itself was pretty good. The strawberry buttercream was detectible. The cookie dough was tasty. The whole thing together wasn’t a huge hit for everyone who ate it. They thought the combo was slightly random. I enjoyed it though!

My one concern was with reducing the strawberry mixture. After reading other reviews about not getting out enough water, I was determined to cook it long enough to not have this problem. Maybe I had juicier strawberries or the humidity in my kitchen was high, but by the time I felt confident with the strawberry mixture, around 45 minutes had passed. The buttercream result was divine though.

It probably was not enough reduction! I’ll cook the strawberries longer next time! It was delicious, though, and my family (especially grandkids) loved it! Thanks for the help!

In reply to Rzh. Sounds like the puree needed to cook a bit longer to reduce the water content. I've added an extra note about that to help others. So sorry it didn't work this round.

In reply to KCA. Oh shoot. The puree should be thick, almost like jam, by the time it cooks and cools so it incorporates well. Was it maybe too thin (meaning, still had too much water?)

In reply to Rzh.

Same thing happened with mine-I added all of the purée and ended up adding another whole bag of powdered sugar to make it look like frosting. It tastes ok, but probably much sweeter than it should be. I’m serving it today so we’ll see! It looks adorable anyway! I’m wondering if it was because I sliced the strawberries before I measured them???

Help! Has anyone had issues with the buttercream breaking from all the liquid?? I only added half the purée (reduced and chilled) and it still happened. An extra cup of sugar didn’t fix the situation. Any advice would be appreciated thank you!
