The Best Homemade Strawberry Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For this delicious strawberry cake recipe, you will need the following ingredients: 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, at room temperature, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature, 16 ounces fresh strawberries, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
Instructions
Before you start, preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer and large bowl), beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until blended. Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and mixing after each addition until blended.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, hull and chop the strawberries. Toss with the lemon juice and sugar and set aside. When the cakes have cooled, use the back of a spoon to spread the strawberry mixture over the top of the first cake. Place the second cake on top and press gently. Serve.
