Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until smooth.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cake

    Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Topping Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare Strawberries

    Wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Set aside.

  2. 9

    Make Whipped Cream

    In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

  3. 10

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the cake is cooled, slice it into wedges. Top each slice with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Serve immediately.
