Description
A delicious strawberry layer cake made with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream room temperature butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 4-5 minutes).
- Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk or cream until just combined.
- Divide batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown; a toothpick should come out clean.
- While cakes cool, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form; gradually add powdered sugar for sweetness.
- Once cakes are completely cool, layer them with whipped cream and sliced strawberries. Frost the top and sides with more whipped cream.
Notes
- This cake is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For added flavor, consider macerating the strawberries in sugar before layering.
