Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- Additional powdered sugar for dusting
- Extra strawberries for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 6-inch round cake pans by greasing and dusting with flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture and milk, mixing just until combined.
- In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the cakes by placing one layer on a serving plate, spreading whipped cream and adding sliced strawberries, then topping with the second layer and repeating the process.
- Decorate the top with whipped cream, additional strawberry slices, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results.
- For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
- For vegan, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk and butter.
