Notes
Ensure strawberries are ripe yet firm for the best texture. You're welcome to chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Consider using gluten-free flour or a dairy-free cream if you have dietary restrictions. This cake can be made a day in advance for improved flavor; just wait until the last moment to add fresh cream and strawberries for presentation.
