Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While cakes cool, prepare the whipped cream. In a large chilled bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  10. Once cakes are completely cool, level them if necessary.
  11. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the top. Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries over the cream.
  12. Place the second cake layer on top. Cover the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream.
  13. Decorate with remaining sliced strawberries.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment for the whipped cream to achieve stiffer peaks.
  • Use ripe, in-season strawberries for the best flavor.
