Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line two 20cm (8-inch) round cake tins.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding a spoonful of flour with each egg to prevent curdling.
-
Fold in the remaining flour and milk until the mixture is smooth.
-
Divide the mixture equally between the prepared cake tins and smooth the tops.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the tins for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cakes are completely cool, spread strawberry jam onto one cake layer and whipped cream onto the other.
-
Sandwich the two layers together and dust the top with icing sugar.
-
Decorate with fresh strawberries.
-
Serve and enjoy!
