Strawberry Cake

Making the Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  5. Add the vanilla extract and chopped strawberries, and mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and smooth with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Making the Strawberry Buttercream

  1. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy and smooth.
  2. Add the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Assembling the Cake

  1. Place one cake layer on a cake plate or stand. Spread a layer of strawberry buttercream over the top of the cake.
  2. Place the second cake layer on top of the buttercream layer. Spread a layer of buttercream over the top of the cake.
  3. Using an offset spatula, spread a thin layer of buttercream around the sides of the cake to create a crumb coat. This will help the final layer of frosting to stick to the cake.
  4. Refrigerate the cake for 15-20 minutes, until the crumb coat is firm to the touch.
  5. Remove the cake from the refrigerator and spread a final layer of buttercream over the top and sides of the cake, smoothing with an offset spatula.
  6. Decorate the cake with fresh strawberries or other decorations of your choice.
  7. Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve.

This fresh strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream is the perfect summer treat. The combination of moist cake and creamy frosting, both infused with fresh strawberries, is sure to please your taste buds. Follow this recipe and impress your guests with a beautiful and delicious cake.
