Description
A delightful and refreshing dessert combining layers of moist cake, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture turns light and fluffy.
- Add in the milk and vanilla extract, mixing well until everything is incorporated.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean.
- Let the cakes cool completely before proceeding.
- Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Slice each cool cake in half horizontally.
- Assemble the cake by layering one half, then spread a layer of whipped cream and top with strawberries. Repeat until finished with whipped cream and strawberries on top.
- Serve chilled and enjoy every bite!
Notes
Store the cake in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 3-4 days. This cake is best enjoyed fresh and does not freeze well.
