Strawberry Shortcake Slice Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cake has cooled, slice it horizontally into two equal layers.

In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

Place one layer of the cake on a serving plate. Top with a layer of sliced strawberries and a layer of whipped cream. Repeat with the second layer of cake, strawberries, and whipped cream.

Garnish with additional fresh strawberries.

Serve and enjoy!
