Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 cups whipped cream
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
- Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until well combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Assemble: Once the cake has cooled, slice it horizontally into two layers. Place one layer on a serving plate and top it with half of the sliced strawberries and whipped cream. Add the second layer of cake on top and repeat the layering process with the remaining strawberries and whipped cream.
- Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy your homemade strawberry shortcake cake!
