Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.

  8. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  9. Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread with whipped cream, and top with sliced strawberries.
  10. Repeat with the second layer, adding more whipped cream and strawberries.
  11. Slice and serve your strawberry shortcake layer cake!
