Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 0.5 cup Strawberry jam
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until combined.
Slowly pour in the milk while mixing and beat for 2-3 minutes on medium speed until the batter is smooth and fluffy.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream filling by whipping the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer onto a serving plate or cake stand.
Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam across the top of the first cake layer.
Spread a generous amount of whipped cream over the jam layer.
Add half of the sliced strawberries evenly over the whipped cream.
Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the process: a thin layer of strawberry jam, whipped cream, and the remaining sliced strawberries.
Optionally, pipe extra whipped cream around the edges for decoration or garnish with whole strawberries.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
