For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk

For the filling:

- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

To assemble:

- Additional fresh strawberries for garnish
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before assembling.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, toss together the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the Strawberry Shortcake Joy, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Top with half of the whipped cream, followed by half of the strawberry mixture. Repeat with the second cake layer, remaining whipped cream, and remaining strawberry mixture. Garnish with additional fresh strawberries, if desired.
