Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mix to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Top: Once cooled, transfer the cake to a serving platter. Top with sliced strawberries and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
