Equipment

- Rubber spatula
- 9-inch round cake pans
- Wire rack for cooling
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 3/4 cup Unsalted butter softened
- 1 and 1/2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries diced
- As needed Confectioners' sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preparing the Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your cake pans to ensure a non-stick nirvana.
- Mix dry ingredients: Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk. Put away.
- Cream butter and sugar: Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This is where the magic begins.
- Add eggs and vanilla: One by one, add the eggs, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in strawberries: Gently fold in the diced strawberries with a spatula. Our star performers are ready to shine.
Baking the Cake
- Pour the batter evenly into the cake pans that have been prepared.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The anticipation builds.
- Cool the cakes on a wire rack for 10 minutes; then turn out of pans to cool completely. Patience, my friend, is a virtue.
Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs, butter, and milk are at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter.
- Fresh vs. Frozen Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are preferred for their flavor and texture. If using frozen, do not thaw them to avoid excess moisture.
- Slicing the Cake: For clean cuts, use a sharp, warm knife. Dip the knife in hot water, dry it, and then slice. Repeat between slices.
