The Ingredients You'll Need
Before you get started, it's important to gather all of the ingredients you'll need to make this cake. Here's what you'll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Once you've gathered all of your ingredients, you're ready to get started!
Making the Cake
To make the cake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray or butter and flour.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg whites until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Once the cakes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Making the Strawberry Filling
While the cakes are cooling, you can make the strawberry filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries and granulated sugar over medium heat.
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries have broken down and the mixture has thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
Remove the strawberry filling from the heat and let it cool completely.
Making the Whipped Cream Frosting
Once the cakes and strawberry filling are cool, it's time to make the whipped cream frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Assembling the Cake
To assemble the cake, place one of the cooled cake layers on a cake plate or stand. Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the top of the cake.
Place the second cake layer on top of the strawberry filling. Spread the whipped cream frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
You can garnish the cake with fresh strawberries or other decorations if you'd like.
Enjoy!
That's it! Your white cake with strawberry filling and whipped cream frosting is ready to enjoy. Serve it up at your next event and watch as your guests rave about how delicious it is.
