Light, airy, creamy and incredibly irresistible Strawberry Shortcake Cake, perfect for summer celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Whole strawberries for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Alternate adding flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until smooth.
  4. Divide batter evenly into pans. Bake 25–28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely.
  5. For the cream: beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  6. To assemble: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread whipped cream and layer sliced strawberries. Top with second cake layer and repeat. Frost the top and sides with more whipped cream.
  7. Decorate with whole strawberries and chill at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

  • Use strawberries that are ripe but firm for perfect slices.
  • Let the cake rest in the fridge so flavors can meld.
  • For a dairy-free twist, use coconut whipped cream.
