Grease two round cake pans and line their bases with baking paper.
Beat the butter and sugar for 4 minutes, until pale and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating briefly after each addition.
Add the flour, baking powder, vanilla, milk, and salt, then mix with a spatula.
Divide the batter between the pans and level the surfaces.
Bake the cakes at 180°C for 23 minutes, until risen and springy.
Cool the cakes completely for 30 minutes.
Spread strawberry jam and whipped cream on one layer, cover with the second layer, and dust with powdered sugar.
💡 Tip: The butter and eggs should be at room temperature; if cold eggs make the mixture split, add a spoonful of flour and keep the mixing brief.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Dust with powdered sugar and serve on a teatime plate with Turkish tea or plain filter coffee.
