- 2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the whipped cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Once the cake has cooled completely, cut it in half horizontally. Place the bottom half on a serving dish and spread a layer of whipped cream on top. Add a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the whipped cream. Place the top half of the cake on top of the strawberries and repeat the layers of whipped cream and sliced strawberries.
