Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare three 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper and grease the sides.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 22-25 minutes. Let cakes cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, beat butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream until desired consistency is achieved.
Assemble the cake by leveling layers, spreading dulce de leche, sliced strawberries, and frosting between layers. Frost the outside with remaining frosting.
