4 tablespoons custard powder
11 -
1 cup chopped strawberries

Fresh strawberries for decoration
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
02 -
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract.
03 -
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternately add the dry mixture and whole milk to the creamed mixture, mixing just until combined.
04 -
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
05 -
In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the whole milk and custard powder. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and fold in the chopped strawberries.
06 -
Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of strawberry custard over the top. Add the second cake layer and cover with additional custard. Decorate with fresh strawberries.
07 -
Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 1 hour prior to serving for optimal flavor and texture.

Ensure cakes are fully cooled before assembling, or the custard may soften or melt.
