Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually mix into the batter.
Fold in the milk until smooth, then gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cake with fresh strawberries on top.
