- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ⅔ cup milk

Strawberry Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced

Whipped Cream Ingredients
- 1 pint heavy cream well chilled - large carton

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two 9 inch cake pans with parchment paper.

- Cream the butter and sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer, then add egg whites and vanilla - beat for approximately 30 seconds.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture, milk, and yogurt - Beat until combined.

For the strawberry filling:
- Combine the strawberries and sugar in a small bowl, and set aside to allow the juices to release.
For the whipped cream:
- 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.
- Add the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to the chilled bowl.
- Beat on medium-high to high speed until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat.
Time to Assemble!
- Slice cooled cake layers in half to create 4 thinner cake layers
- Place one layer of the cake on a plate, and spread with about a half cup of the whipped cream.
- Layer on about half of the sliced strawberries
- Spread about another half cup of whipped cream on top of the strawberries.
- Top with the second cake layer.
- Repeat strawberry and whipped cream steps until you've reached the final cake layer.
