Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) round cake pans.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed, beat cake mix, buttermilk, butter, and eggs until cake mix is moistened. Beat at medium speed 4 minutes. Pour batter into prepared cake pans.

Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans. Brush top of each layer with 2 tablespoons preserves. Cool completely on wire racks.

In a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed, beat remaining preserves with whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate. Arrange half of strawberries over layer; top with half of whipped cream mixture. Repeat procedure with remaining layer, strawberries, and whipped cream mixture. Garnish with extra strawberries, if desired.
