Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
  3. Gradually mix in the flour mixture and milk alternately until combined.
  4. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form for the frosting.
  7. Layer the cooled cakes with whipped cream and sliced strawberries in between. Top with more whipped cream and strawberries.
  8. Slice and serve.
