A delightful strawberry cake with a rich and creamy frosting, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 baking pan.
Greasing the pan ensures the cake doesn't stick and comes out easily after baking.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Adding eggs one at a time ensures they are well incorporated into the batter.
Mix in the milk and fresh strawberries until combined.
Chop the strawberries into small pieces for even distribution in the batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
Sift the dry ingredients to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Avoid opening the oven door frequently to maintain a consistent baking temperature.
Allow the cake to cool completely on a cooling rack before frosting.
Cooling the cake prevents the frosting from melting and sliding off.
For the frosting, beat together the confectioners' sugar, butter, and strawberries until smooth.
Adjust the consistency of the frosting by adding more sugar or a splash of milk.
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
Use an offset spatula for a smooth and even frosting application.
Slice and serve the cake, garnished with additional fresh strawberries if desired.
For a decorative touch, arrange sliced strawberries on top of the cake.
