Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, beat together canola oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.
Gradually add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; mix until just combined. Gently fold in strawberry jam.
Divide batter among prepared pans and bake for 28–30 minutes until set. Cool completely on racks.
To make chamomile cream: Simmer heavy cream with chamomile tea bags. Chill after steeping. Then beat with cream cheese and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
