Follow these easy steps to create your own Japanese Strawberry Cake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes thick and pale.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Slowly add the milk and vegetable oil to the egg mixture. Mix until combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
9. Slice the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, slice it horizontally into two layers.
10. Layer the Cake: Place the bottom layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream over it, then add a layer of sliced strawberries.
11. Add the Top Layer: Place the second layer of cake on top. Frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream.
12. Decorate: Top the cake with additional fresh strawberries for a beautiful presentation.
