Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cake has cooled, slice it in half horizontally. Spread the sliced strawberries evenly over the bottom half of the cake.
-
Place the top half of the cake back on and dust with powdered sugar.
-
Serve slices of the cake with a dollop of whipped cream and additional sliced strawberries.
