- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (Measure by spooning into the cup and leveling off.)
- 1 cup sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened (Make sure it’s at room temperature.)
- 2 large eggs (Use room-temperature eggs for better mixing.)

- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (Pat dry if very juicy.)
Toppings
- 1 cup whipped cream (For topping.)

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, until well combined.
- Fold in the sliced strawberries gently.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
- Once cooled, frost the top with whipped cream and garnish with additional strawberries. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Keep it simple with a slice of cake and a dollop of whipped cream. The cake is best served slightly chilled on warm days or at room temperature for a tender crumb. Pair with coffee, tea, or milk, and consider adding mint leaves or powdered sugar for a special touch.
