Method
 

How to Make Irresistible Strawberry Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans.
  2. Prepare the strawberries by washing, hulling, and slicing half for mixing into the batter.
  3. Whisk together in a medium bowl the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, alternating with milk until just combined. Fold in the sliced strawberries.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Frost and decorate with whole strawberries.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with mint leaves for added color and freshness.
