    • 4 eggs
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 2 tsp baking powder
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • Pinch of salt
  • For the Strawberry Filling:
    • 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 2 tbsp cornstarch
    • Juice of 1 lemon
  • For the Cream Layer:
    • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
    • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Crumble Topping:
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cake:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
    • In a bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
    • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix until smooth.
    • Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
  2. Make the Strawberry Filling:
    • Combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until strawberries are soft and the sauce has thickened. Let cool.
  3. Prepare the Cream Layer:
    • In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  4. Make the Crumble Topping:
    • Mix flour and brown sugar. Rub in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Assemble the Cake:
    • Slice the cooled cake horizontally into two layers.
    • On the bottom layer, spread half of the whipped cream, then the strawberry filling. Place the second cake layer on top.
    • Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle with the crumble topping.
  6. Chill and Serve:
    • Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving.
    • Garnish with fresh strawberries for an extra touch of elegance.
