Ingredients
  

Let's gather the ingredients!

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 8 ounces granulated sugar
  • 8 ounces all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3 ounces coconut oil
  • 8 ounces strawberries washed, hulled, and sliced
  • 7 ounces whipping cream whipped to firm peaks
  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two 8-inch round cake pans with butter. Line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  • Using a mixer, mix the eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and the softened butter and coconut oil until completely combined. The mixture should be a soft consistency.
  • Divide the cake batter evenly between the two cake pans. Lightly smooth the surface of the cake.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until the cakes are well-risen and golden brown on the surface.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and place them on a cooling rack for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes, the cakes should be shrinking away from the sides of the cake tins.
  • Carefully remove the cakes from the tins and leave them to cool completely on the cooling rack.
  • Once cooled, place one cake top side down onto a plate. Cover with half of the sliced strawberries, followed by a thick layer of whipped cream.
  • Top with the second cake, and finish with remaining strawberries and whipped cream. Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar.
  • Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
