For the whipped cream:
  1. Place the bowl and whisk attachment for your stand mixer or a metal or glass bowl and beaters for your hand mixer in the fridge or freezer until they are cold.
  2. Add the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to the chilled bowl.
  3. Beat on medium-high to high speed until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat.
Time to Assemble!
  1. Slice cooled cake layers in half to create 4 thinner cake layers
  2. Place one layer of the cake on a plate, and spread with about a half cup of the whipped cream.
  3. Layer on about half of the sliced strawberries
  4. Spread about another half cup of whipped cream on top of the strawberries.
  5. Top with the second cake layer.
  6. Repeat strawberry and whipped cream steps until you've reached the final cake layer.
