Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries (for buttercream)
4 cups confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time followed by milk and vanilla.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined.
Pour batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool cakes before frosting with strawberry buttercream made from whipped butter, confectioners’ sugar, and pureed strawberries.
Notes
For an added twist, try incorporating lemon zest into the batter or using almond extract instead of vanilla. Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to five days in the fridge.
