Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, mix granulated sugar and vegetable oil until blended. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, alternating with milk until combined.
Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
For the strawberry filling, combine pureed strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, and sifted flour in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened; let cool.
For the frosting, beat heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla; continue beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in cold mascarpone cheese.
Once cooled, layer the cakes with strawberry filling and frosting as desired.
