Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease your cake pan. Keep everything ready because this moves quickly.
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. The texture should look airy, not dense.
- Add eggs one at a time, then mix in milk. Stir gently to avoid overworking the batter.
- Fold in flour and baking powder, then gently add chopped strawberries for even distribution.
- Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool completely before spreading strawberry whipped frosting. Slice carefully for clean layers.
Notes
For a softer texture, avoid overmixing and slightly underbake. For a firmer, crisp edge, bake a few extra minutes. Chill layers briefly before frosting to prevent slipping. Add lemon zest or vanilla for flavor twists. Store covered in the fridge for up to three days.
