Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup additional sugar (for strawberries)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup skim milk powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a pan with parchment paper.
  2. Sift flour, cornstarch, and baking powder into a bowl. Combine sugar and salt, then blend. Incorporate softened butter, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, milk, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35–45 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Combine strawberries and sugar, letting them sit to release juices. Strain and reserve the juice.
  5. Whip heavy cream with skim milk powder until peaks form, then add sugar and vanilla.
  6. Slice the cooled cake in half. Place the bottom layer on a plate, spread cream, add the strawberry filling, and top with the second cake layer.
  7. Spread remaining cream on top and decorate with fresh sliced strawberries.
  8. Drizzle reserved strawberry juices before serving. Chill for an hour if desired.
