Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pans.
Mix flour, salt, and baking powder in one bowl; beat melted butter and sugar in another until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and buttermilk. Gradually mix in dry ingredients until just combined.
Pour batter into pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
Slice strawberries, sprinkle with sugar, and let sit to release juices.
For frosting, beat cream cheese until smooth; add powdered sugar and vanilla. In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Assemble the cake by layering frosting and strawberries between cake layers.
