Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease three 8-inch round cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine canola oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; stir until just incorporated. Fold in strawberry jam gently.
Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for about 28-30 minutes or until set. Let cool before transferring to a rack.
Prepare the chamomile cream by simmering heavy cream with chamomile tea bags. Chill and then whip with cream cheese and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the cake by layering each cake with honey drizzle, chamomile cream, and sliced strawberries.
Chill briefly before serving.
