Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three 8-inch round cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine canola oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined and swirl in strawberry jam.
Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
For the chamomile cream, heat heavy cream in a saucepan and steep with chamomile tea bags for about 10 minutes. Chill and then whip with cream cheese and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Once cakes are completely cool, assemble by layering with chamomile cream and fresh strawberries.
