I can't believe it's already June! May went by in a flash. I usually miss peak strawberry season because it's only from Mid-May to early July. This time, I took advantage of fresh strawberries and made this strawberry torte. I'm working on loads of strawberry recipes in the next few weeks so stay tuned!

Divide the batter between the two 9-inch round cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes on the middle rack.

Let the cakes cool for 15 minutes, then flip the cakes onto a cooling rack. Peel off the parchment paper.

While the cakes are cooling, whip heavy cream with an electric mixer. Slowly add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until the cream is soft.

Slice six of the strawberries. Leave the rest of the strawberries whole.

Place one cake on a plate and top with half of the whipped cream. Top with sliced strawberries.

Lay the second cake layer on top of the first cake layer. Top with the rest of the whipped cream and whole strawberries.

Hint: you can trip the tops of the cake if you wish. This makes the final product more even. Use a serrated knife.
