DIRECTIONS
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas Mark 4.
- Line a 9-inch cake pan with baking parchment. Smear with butter, dust with flour; tap the excess out. Set aside.
- Sift together cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.
- In another large bowl, beat the butter with 1 ½ cups sugar until fluffy (if using a mixer, set it to medium-high speed).
- Mix the strawberry preserves and eggs in (one ingredient at a time) to combine well.
- Beat in red coloring and vanilla extract.
- Change the speed to low; mix in the dry mixture and buttermilk (divide both by thirds and alternate to let combine well).
- Pour batter into the cake pan; even out.
- Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes (until the toothpick poked in the center of the cake comes out clean).
- Transfer to a wire rack to let cool completely.
- Assemble the cake:
- Beat the heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of caster sugar to soft peaks; cover the cake, spread evenly.
- Top with strawberries (use your fantasy here!). Serve immediately.
