- In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries and sugar, letting them sit for 10 minutes as the cake cools.
- In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream until it starts to thicken; then mix in powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake and top with sweetened strawberries. Slice and serve.
