How to Make Strawberry Cake W Creamy Strawberry Icing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans or a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the pureed strawberries.
  7. Divide batter evenly among prepared pans.
  8. Bake for 28-30 minutes for 8-inch layers, or 35-40 minutes for the 9x13 inch pan, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
  10. While cakes cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until combined.
  11. Stir in the strawberry puree and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  12. Once cakes are completely cool, frost the layers or the top of the 9x13 inch cake with the strawberry frosting.
  13. Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries.
