Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the sliced strawberries into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
Baking
- Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Assembly
- Once the cakes are completely cool, layer them on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of whipped cream on top of the first layer, add more sliced strawberries, and repeat with the second layer.
- Finish with whipped cream and strawberries on top.
Notes
For added flavor, consider pairing the cake with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
