Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Add the softened butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat with a mixer until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Place them in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form.
- To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread half of the whipped cream over it, and layer with half of the sliced strawberries. Add the second cake layer and repeat with the remaining cream and strawberries.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld perfectly.
Notes
For an elegant touch, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
