Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
  • 1 ½ – 2 pounds fresh strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare strawberries by rinsing, hulling, and slicing them. Toss with sugar and let sit for 30 minutes to release juices.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs one by one, then stir in vanilla.
  4. Alternate adding buttermilk and dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  7. For frosting, beat cream cheese until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar, then vanilla. Slowly mix in cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  8. Assemble the cake by layering one cake on a serving plate, topping with half the strawberries and whipped cream mixture. Repeat with the second layer and finish with remaining whipped cream and strawberries.
