💰Cheaper: canned strawberries

Frozen strawberries are often less expensive and available year-round.

whipped cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cool whip

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with fewer calories.

cake flour

🥗Healthier: all-purpose flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

All-purpose flour is more versatile and commonly found.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a mixing bowl, combine cake flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, cream together unsalted butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk, until just combined.

Fold in chopped fresh strawberries gently.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

In a separate bowl, whip the cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Once the cakes are cool, spread whipped cream between the layers and on top of the cake.

Garnish with additional fresh strawberries.
