Ingredients
✓ 2½ cups all purpose flour
✓ 3 teaspoons baking powder
✓ ½ teaspoon salt
✓ 1¾ cups granulated sugar
✓ ½ cup vegetable or canola oil

✓ ¾ cup powdered sugar
✓ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
✓ 1½ cups chilled heavy whipping cream
✓ 5 cups sliced fresh strawberries (just under 2 pounds)

Instructions
✓ Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 18×24-inch baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
✓ In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
