Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ pounds fresh strawberries (pureed)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup milk (room temperature)
  • 1½ cups strawberry puree (from above)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 4–5 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberry puree (from above)
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Puree strawberries in a blender until smooth.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in 1½ cups of the pureed strawberries into the batter.
  8. Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow cakes to cool in pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  10. For buttercream, beat the butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and strawberry purée until fully incorporated.
  11. Adjust consistency with more powdered sugar or purée as needed.
  12. Once cooled, level off any domed tops, spread a layer of buttercream on one layer, place the second layer on top, and use remaining buttercream to frost the top and sides.
  13. Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.
