Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Here’s How to Make it?

1. Preheat the oven

●  Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and set it aside.

2. Prepare the Batter

●  In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

●  Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

●  In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

●  Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until well combined.

3. Bake the Cake

●  Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.

●  Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

●  Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

4. Prepare the Toppings

●  In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.

●  Slice the fresh strawberries and set them aside.

5. Assemble the Cake

●  Once the cake has cooled, carefully slice it in half horizontally to create two layers.

●  Place one layer of the cake on a serving plate and spread a layer of whipped cream over the top.

●  Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries over the whipped cream.

●  Top with the second layer of cake and repeat the process, finishing with a final layer of whipped cream and sliced strawberries.

6. Garnish and Serve
