For the Cake

  • 1 cup granulated sugar For sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and milk, mixing until just combined.
Baking

  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Assembly

  2. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the process.
  3. Top with additional strawberries and whipped cream before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, you can macerate the strawberries with a little sugar before adding them to the cake.
