Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Milk
- 3 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Strawberry jam
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- Fresh strawberries for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Spread a layer of strawberry jam over the top of one layer.
- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then spread it over the jam layer.
- Place the second cake layer on top, repeating the jam and whipped cream process.
- Decorate the top with fresh strawberries before slicing and serving.
Notes
Ensure your butter is softened for better mixing. For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with almond milk for whipping.
