Instructions
 

  • Turn oven to 400°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round pans.

For Strawberry Filling

For the Whipped Cream

  • Use a large bowl and electric mixer for this step.
  • Whip the heavy cream until it starts to get thick.

  • Add second layer and top completely.
  • Chill 30 minute before serving to set whipped cream.
