Method
 

How to Make Strawberry Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two round cake pans with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
  3. Cream the butter in another bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the sugar until well incorporated.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, then pour in whole milk until just combined to create a smooth batter.
  5. Fold in the flour mixture gently until no flour streaks remain, being careful not to over-mix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
