A pillowy, buttery layer cake filled with fresh strawberries and topped with cloud-like whipped cream, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans to ensure our cake layers come out perfectly.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Blend in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  10. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread with whipped cream and sliced strawberries.
  11. Frost the second layer and place it on top, then frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream.
  12. Decorate with additional strawberries on top.

Notes

Serve chilled alongside lemonade or iced tea. Pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream.
