How to Make Scrumptious Strawberry Cake

  1. Grease and lightly flour three 8 1/2-inch round pans or one 13x9x2-inch rectangular pan.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 (3 oz) package strawberry-flavored gelatin.
  4. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  6. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Gently fold in 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk.
  9. Gradually add the dry ingredients (step 3) and the buttermilk to the wet ingredients (step 7), alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  10. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes for 8-inch pans, or 30-35 minutes for a 13x9x2-inch pan, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
