Creating a delicious creamy strawberry cake is easier than you think! Follow this step-by-step guide to bake a moist, flavorful treat topped with luscious strawberry cream.

Ingredients:

For the sponge cake: 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup butter (softened), 3 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tsp baking powder, ½ cup milk.

For the filling: 2 cups fresh strawberries (chopped), 1 cup heavy cream (whipped), ¼ cup powdered sugar, 1 cream cheese (softened).

For decoration: Sliced strawberries, mint leaves.

Steps:

1. Bake the Sponge: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round pan. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Mix flour and baking powder, then alternately add to the batter with milk. Pour into the pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden. Cool completely.

2. Prepare the Filling: Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, then fold in the whipped cream and chopped strawberries.

3. Assemble the Cake: Slice the cooled sponge cake horizontally into two layers. Spread the strawberry cream filling over the bottom layer, place the top layer over it, and frost the outside with remaining cream. Decorate with sliced strawberries and mint.

Chill for 1 hour before serving. Enjoy your homemade creamy strawberry cake!
