Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
• Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
• Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Strawberry Frosting
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition.
• Add the pureed strawberries and milk, and beat until smooth and creamy.
• If desired, add a drop of red food coloring to enhance the pink color of the frosting.
• Once the cakes have cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake.
• Decorate with fresh strawberries, if desired.

Tips

• Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming.
