Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional)
  • 2 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (about 2530 medium berries)
  • A few mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and line two 8-inch round pans with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. In another bowl, mix together sour cream and milk. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry mixture.
  7. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  8. Bake for 28–32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For frosting, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  11. Assemble the cake by spreading frosting on the first layer topped with strawberries, then place the second layer on top.
  12. Apply a crumb coat of frosting around the cake and chill for 20 minutes.
  13. Frost the entire cake and decorate with remaining strawberries and mint leaves.
  14. Chill in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Don’t overmix the batter to maintain a light texture.
