Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with the milk and melted butter.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool completely, then remove them from the pans.
  8. In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  9. Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread half of the whipped cream over it, and add half of the sliced strawberries.
  10. Top with the second layer of cake and repeat the process with the remaining whipped cream and strawberries.
  11. Chill for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute part of the whole milk with buttermilk.
  • You can also add a layer of strawberry jam for extra sweetness.
