How to Make Strawberry Vanilla Chill Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the sliced strawberries.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
Once cooled, frost the cake with your favorite strawberry frosting (recipe suggestions below).
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to fully chill and the flavors to meld.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
