Print Recipe

A moist and fluffy strawberry cake that captures the essence of summer with fresh strawberries.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Strawberries (2 cups)
  • All-Purpose Flour (2 ½ cups)
  • Granulated Sugar (2 cups)
  • Baking Powder (2 ½ tsp)
  • Butter (¾ cup, unsalted)
  • Eggs (4 large)
  • Milk (1 cup)
  • Vanilla Extract (2 tsp)
  • Salt (½ tsp)
  • Powdered Sugar (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your pans by greasing and flouring two 9-inch round cake pans.
  3. Mix your dry ingredients: whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  4. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  6. Combine dry and wet ingredients, alternating between the two, until just combined.
  7. Fold in the chopped strawberries gently.
  8. Pour the batter evenly between the prepared pans and tap to release bubbles.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  11. Make the frosting by beating butter, powdered sugar, and milk until fluffy.
  12. Assemble the cake by layering with frosting and topping with fresh strawberries.
  13. Slice and serve with additional strawberries or whipped cream.

Notes

Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Adjust sugar levels according to your preference.
