Zubereitung von Kittencal's Strawberry Shortcake
- Wash and hull 1 pound of fresh strawberries. Slice them into halves or quarters.
- Place the sliced strawberries in a large glass bowl. Add ¾ to 1 cup of granulated sugar. Gently toss until the strawberries are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
- Generously grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Beat on medium speed for 4-5 minutes, or until the mixture is pale and no sugar granules remain.
- Add 1 cup of lukewarm whole milk and mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Top with half of the macerated strawberries and their juices.
- Dollop half of 2 cups of whipped cream over the strawberries.
- Top with the second cake layer. Cover with the remaining strawberries and whipped cream.
