Description
A delightful twist on the classic dessert with light, fluffy cake, sweet strawberries, and luscious whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup strawberry jam
- 2 cups whipped cream (stabilized if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, mixing to combine.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice each cake in half horizontally.
- Spread a layer of strawberry jam on the bottom half of one cake, then top with sliced strawberries.
- Spread whipped cream over the strawberries, then place the second layer on top.
- Repeat with the remaining layers, finishing with whipped cream and additional strawberries on top.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients and don’t overmix the batter. Chill your cream for fluffy whipped cream.
