Instructions

For the cake:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes 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.

  1. In a large bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy.
  2. Add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Mix in the pureed strawberries, vanilla extract, and salt. If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If it's too thick, add a splash of milk.
  4. Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand.
  5. Spread a thick layer of frosting on top of the cake layer, using an offset spatula to smooth it out evenly.
  6. Place the other cake layer on top of the frosting and repeat the process, spreading another thick layer of frosting on top and around the sides of the cake.
  7. Decorate the top of the cake with fresh strawberries, if desired.
  8. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
