01 -
Get your oven hot to 175°C. Coat two round cake pans well with grease and set them aside for the batter.
02 -
Sift together flour, sugar, and baking powder in a big bowl so everything's blended nicely.
03 -
Put softened butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla into the dry mix. Use a mixer or whisk to blend until the batter is smooth with no bumps.
04 -
Carefully fold chopped strawberries into your batter with a spatula to keep them from breaking up too much.
05 -
Split the batter equally between the pans and even out the tops. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
06 -
Take the cakes out of the oven and let them cool completely on a rack before you add any frosting or toppings.
07 -
Spread whipped cream thickly over the cooled cakes. If you want, add some extra fresh strawberries on top before serving.
