Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two round cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk until well combined.
- In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Divide the batter between prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Toss sliced strawberries with sugar and set aside to develop juices. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Once cakes are cool, layer one on a serving platter, top with strawberries and whipped cream, then add the second layer on top. Finish with more whipped cream and strawberries before serving.
