Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/3 cup Buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons Flour
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Butter (softened)
- 1 Tablespoon Oil
- 3 Tablespoons Vanilla Pudding Mix (Dry)
- 1 lb. Strawberries (sliced)
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1/3 cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
- In a standing mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat in the softened butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add half of the egg mixture and oil to the dry ingredients and beat until fluffy. Then add the remaining egg mixture and the vanilla pudding mix, mixing until just combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Pour the batter into a greased 8 or 9-inch cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 17-24 minutes, depending on the depth of the pan.
- When done, remove from the oven and let the cake cool. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to help it release, then flip it onto a serving plate to cool completely.
- Slice the strawberries and toss them with sugar. Allow them to sit for 10 minutes to release their juices while the cake cools.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake, then top with the sweetened strawberries. Slice and serve.
Notes
For an even sweeter flavor, allow the strawberries to macerate longer in sugar.
You can substitute the buttermilk with regular milk or yogurt if needed.
This cake is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for a day.
