Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat until smooth.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. While the cake is cooling, prepare the strawberries by slicing them.
  7. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  8. Once the cake is cooled, slice it horizontally into two layers.
  9. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the whipped cream over the cake layer and top with half of the sliced strawberries.
  10. Place the second cake layer on top. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the cake and top with the remaining sliced strawberries.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, brush the cake layers with a simple syrup before adding the whipped cream and strawberries.
