This delightful strawberry cake captures the essence of summer with its moist texture and natural sweetness from fresh strawberries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s hot and ready for your cake.
  2. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to ensure your cake releases easily after baking.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  7. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.
  8. Fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  9. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  10. Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream on top if desired.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor; frozen can lead to a watery batter. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
