Ingredients

Strawberries Ingredients

  • 5 cups fresh strawberries, quartered
  • ½ cup sugar

Cake Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp shortening
  • 1 egg
  • ⅔ cup milk

Whip Cream Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1½ tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat over to 425℉.
  • Strawberries: In a large bowl, stir strawberries and ½ cup of sugar. Refrigerate while baking the cake, allowing the sugar to pull out the strawberry juices.
  • Cake:
    * Grease a round cake mould (or spray with non-stick cooking spray).
    * In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except milk and egg.
    * In a separate small bowl, whisk milk and egg.
    * Gradually add milk mixture to dry mixture. Mix well. Pour into cake mould.
    * Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let it cool for 10 minutes before assembling.
  • Whip Cream: Using a hand mixer, beat the cold cream on medium-high speed until just before soft peaks form (still spoonable). Add 1½ tbsp of sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla, continue to beat until soft-medium peaks form.
  • Serve: Slice the cake into wedges, serve on individual plates and top with strawberries and whip cream. Enjoy!

Notes

The colder the whipping cream, the more voluminous it will be.
