Strawberries and Cream Layer Cake

There's always room for this, because it's so light. It's like a Norwegian-style strawberry shortcake. For best results, stack the layers with the cut side up because they'll hold the strawberries better. And for easy cutting, use a serrated knife. Posted for ZWT 6.
