🌟 Ingredients 🍓
For the Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
For the Topping:

1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
✨ Instructions 🍰
1. Prepare the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
2. Prepare the Whipped Cream:
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
3. Assemble the Cake:
Once the cake is cool, carefully slice it in half horizontally to create two layers.
Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the bottom layer, then top with half of the sliced strawberries.
Place the second cake layer on top and repeat with whipped cream and the remaining strawberries.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
Slice the cake into wedges and serve immediately for a sweet, summery treat.
💡 Pro Tips:
Extra Moisture: Brush the cake layers with a simple syrup (sugar dissolved in water) for added moisture.
Fresh Alternatives: Swap strawberries for mixed berries or peaches for a different flavor.
Make Ahead: Bake the cake a day in advance and assemble before serving for freshness.
