2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk, ending with flour.
6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8. In a bowl, mix sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and let sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
9. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
10. To assemble, cut cooled sponge cake into small cubes or rounds to fit your glasses.
11. Layer pieces of sponge cake at the bottom of each glass followed by a layer of macerated strawberries and a layer of whipped cream. Repeat layers until glasses are full, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream and a few strawberry slices for garnish.
