Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • About 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round pans. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  2. Beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Mix in oil, milk, and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients. Divide batter between pans.
  3. Bake 22 to 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
  4. Whip cold heavy cream and powdered sugar to firm peaks. Spread cream over one layer, top with sliced strawberries, place second layer on top, and cover entire top with cream.
  5. Decorate with whole strawberries or fresh fruit. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

This cake slices cleanest after chilling, so plan for that 30-minute fridge rest. If you’re using a photocard or edible image, add it right before the candles are lit to keep it crisp.
