Description
A delicious and moist strawberry cake made with fresh strawberries and topped with whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed, and additional for decoration
- 2 cups whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, along with vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk. Stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the pureed strawberries until evenly distributed in the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, spread whipped cream on top of the first cake layer, add a layer of fresh strawberry slices, then place the second cake on top. Frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream.
- Garnish with additional strawberries on top. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, replace unsalted butter with margarine and milk with almond milk.
- Ensure the strawberries are fresh for the best flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
