Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cake flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- To prepare the whipped cream, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar while beating until stiff peaks are achieved.
- Assemble by placing one cake layer on a serving plate, spreading whipped cream on top, followed by sliced strawberries. Top with the second layer of cake and spread remaining whipped cream on top and sides. Garnish with additional strawberries.
