Instructions
Here’s how to make this mouth-watering cake:
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Your Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Cream Your Butter and Sugar
In a separate mixing bowl, cream together your butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 4: Add Your Eggs and Vanilla
Add your eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 5: Add Your Dry Ingredients and Milk
Add your dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until just combined. Add your milk and mix until the batter is smooth.
Step 6: Fold in Your Strawberries
Fold in your chopped strawberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7: Pour Your Batter into Your Cake Pan
Pour your batter into your prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8: Let Your Cake Cool
Remove your cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 9: Make Your Cream Cheese Frosting
In a mixing bowl, beat together your cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add your powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
Step 10: Assemble Your Cake
Once your cake has cooled completely, use a serrated knife to cut it in half horizontally. Spread your cream cheese frosting on the bottom half of the cake and top with the other half. Spread a layer of frosting on the top of the cake and decorate with fresh strawberries.
