Ingredients:

For the Cake:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

For the Filling and Topping:

2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Prepare the Cake:

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

In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and

ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool

completely.

Prepare the Strawberries:

In a medium bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with the granulated sugar. Let them sit for about 30

minutes to release their juices.

Prepare the Whipped Cream:

In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks

form.

Assemble the Cake:

Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate.

Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the cake layer.

Arrange half of the sliced strawberries over the whipped cream.

Place the second cake layer on top of the strawberries.

Spread another layer of whipped cream over the top of the cake and decorate with the remaining

sliced strawberries.

Pipe additional whipped cream on top for decoration, if desired.

Serve:

Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the whipped

cream to set.

Slice and serve chilled.

Enjoy your delightful strawberry shortcake!
