Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, pureed
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups fresh strawberries, sliced (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer or whisk, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, blending well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Mix in the pureed strawberries and milk alternately with the flour mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir just until blended; do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, garnish with sliced fresh strawberries and dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
