**Step 1: Mixing Dry Ingredients**

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2½ cups of all-purpose flour, 

2½ teaspoons of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. 

Set this dry mixture aside.

**Step 2: Creaming Butter and Sugar**

In another bowl, cream ¾ cup of softened unsalted butter with 1¾ cups of 

granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture becomes 

light and fluffy.

**Step 3: Adding Eggs and Vanilla**

Beat in 3 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated. 

Then, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for that aromatic touch.

**Step 4: Combining Dry Ingredients and Milk**

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter-sugar-egg mixture 

while alternating with 1 cup of whole milk. Mix until all ingredients are well 

combined.

**Step 5: Adding Strawberries**

Gently fold in the freshly washed and sliced strawberries. 

These will infuse the cake with a burst of fruity flavour and a beautiful pink hue.

**Step 6: Baking the Cake**

Divide the batter between two greased and lined cake pans. 

Bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, 

or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the 

pans before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

**Step 7: Assembling the Barbie Dress**

Place one cake layer on your serving tray – this will be the base. 

Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut a hole in the centre of the other cake layer. 

This creates the space for your Barbie doll's body. Place this layer on top of the base layer.

**Step 8: Decorating the Dress**

Whip up some fresh whipped cream until it forms soft peaks. 

Generously frost the entire cake with the whipped cream, creating an elegant 

and a delightful gown. Place your clean and wrapped Barbie doll into the centre hole, 

and add more whipped cream around her to continue the illusion of her dress.
