Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two round cake pans with nonstick spray and lightly dust with flour.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat softened butter until creamy; add milk and eggs one at a time until combined.
Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Divide the batter between prepared pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool on wire racks.
Whip heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form.
Once cakes are cooled, slice layers if desired. Assemble by layering cake, whipped cream, and sliced strawberries.
