Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup sugar (for whipping)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture alternately with milk until fully combined.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- Whip heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form. Layer one cake on a serving plate with whipped cream and half of the sliced strawberries; top with the second layer, additional whipped cream, and remaining strawberries.
