Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three 8-inch round cake pans and line with parchment paper.
In a mixer, combine canola oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.
Gradually mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Gently swirl in strawberry jam.
Divide batter among prepared pans and bake for 28–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for five minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
For the chamomile cream: Heat one cup of heavy cream until simmering; steep tea bags for about ten minutes. Chill mixture completely.
Beat cream cheese until fluffy; add chilled cream and remaining heavy cream. Whip until stiff peaks form and stir in powdered sugar.
Assemble the cake by layering each cake with honey drizzle, chamomile cream, and sliced strawberries.
