Description
A delightful dessert with layers of fluffy cake, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup strawberry jam
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the softened butter and milk, then beat the mixture at medium speed for about two minutes until smooth.
- Evenly divide the batter between your prepared pans, spreading it out for even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The cakes should be golden and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes in the pans before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes cool, whip the heavy cream and add the powdered sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form.
- Place one layer of cake on a serving plate. Spread a layer of strawberry jam and top with a layer of sliced strawberries.
- Spread half of the whipped cream over the strawberries.
- Gently place the second cake layer on top and repeat the layering with the remaining jam, strawberries, and whipped cream.
- Decorate the top with extra strawberries and slice to serve!
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing. Fresh strawberries are key for the best flavor.
