Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk until just combined.
- Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks; let cool completely.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble by placing one cake layer on a serving plate, spreading half of the whipped cream on top, adding sliced strawberries, and topping with the second layer. Frost the entire cake with remaining whipped cream.
