- Fold in flour, baking powder, and strawberries evenly. Divide batter into pans.
- Bake until golden and set. Cool completely before stacking to prevent sliding.
- Layer, frost, and decorate the cake. Adjust details to create a themed birthday design.
Notes
For softer texture, avoid overmixing and slightly underbake. For firmer layers, bake longer. Chill before decorating for stability. Customize colors and flavors easily. Store covered in the refrigerator up to three days for freshness.
