Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan for about 30 minutes.
  7. Slice fresh strawberries and toss them with sugar, then let them sit for about 10 minutes.
  8. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar, whipping until soft peaks form.
  9. Layer the whipped cream over the cooled cake and distribute the macerated strawberries evenly on top.
