Cake
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Whipped Cream
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Method
 

Prepare the Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Strawberry Filling
  1. In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Let sit for about 15 minutes to release juices.
Prepare the Whipped Cream
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Assemble the Cake
  1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream over the top.
  2. Top with half of the strawberry filling. Place the second cake layer on top.
  3. Spread remaining whipped cream on top and decorate with the rest of the strawberries.
