Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 4 Eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 2 cups Fresh strawberries sliced
  • 2 cups Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Preparing the Sponge Cake

  • Get ready: Warm up your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your cake pans and line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This is where the magic begins, so don’t skimp on the mixing!
  • Egg-cellent Addition: Add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Alternating Acts: Add the flour mixture and milk alternately to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
  • Bake to Perfection: Evenly distribute the batter amongst the prepared pans. After 25 minutes, a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
  • Cooling Phase: Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Crafting the Cream

  • Chill the Bowl: For best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in advance.
  • Whip It Good: Beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gentle reminder: over-beating turns your dreams into butter, so keep an eye on it.

The Final Assembly

  • Layer One: Place the first cake layer on your serving plate. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over it, then top with half of the sliced strawberries.
  • Layer Two: Place the second cake layer on top. Repeat the whipped cream and strawberry layer.
  • Garnish and Glory: Use some whole strawberries for garnish, diving into your artistic side to make it visually irresistible.
