Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk

Main Ingredient

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Begin by washing and hulling the fresh strawberries. Slice them into small pieces and set aside. You can toss them with a little sugar to enhance their natural sweetness and let them sit for a few minutes.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan to ensure your cake comes out easily once baked.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. This will help evenly distribute the leavening agent throughout the flour.
  4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This process helps incorporate air, resulting in a tender cake.
  5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  7. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the prepared strawberries, being careful not to break them up too much.
  8. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and moisture; frozen strawberries can make the cake soggy.
  • Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Mix just until combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Check your cake a few minutes before the recommended baking time.
  • Cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
