- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, then sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of whipped cream and strawberries on top.
- Place the second cake layer on top and repeat with more whipped cream and strawberries. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the strawberries.
- Lightly dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for a beautiful finish.
