- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and slice the strawberries. Toss them with granulated sugar and let them sit for about 15 minutes to release their juices.

- Assemble the Cake: Spread a layer of whipped cream over the first cake layer, then top with strawberries. Repeat for the next layer, finishing with a final topping of whipped cream and strawberries.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving chilled.
Notes
- Use a serrated knife for clean slices.
- Let the cake chill for enhanced flavor.
