Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a cake pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, then gradually sift in the flour mixture. Mix until just combined and smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
For the frosting, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Slice the cooled cake in half horizontally and spread the cream filling evenly over the bottom layer. Top with the second layer of cake, then frost the entire cake with the remaining cream and decorate with fresh strawberries.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and make it easier to slice.
Slice and serve the cake chilled.
