Instructions

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and lightly grease two 6-inch round cake pans.
In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form; gradually add in 100g sugar until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
Sift together cake flour and baking powder; gently fold into the wet ingredients.
Fold one-third of the egg whites into the batter before gently incorporating the rest.
Divide the batter between prepared pans and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool cakes in their pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Layer cooled cakes with whipped cream and diced strawberries; top with more whipped cream and strawberries.
