- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Once the cakes are cool, slice each cake in half horizontally to create layers.
- On the first layer, spread a generous amount of whipped cream and top with sliced strawberries.
- Place the second layer on top and repeat the process. Finish by topping with more whipped cream and strawberries.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries.
- You can also add a splash of vanilla or almond extract to the whipped cream for extra flavor.
