Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
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.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, blending well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
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.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, garnish with sliced fresh strawberries and dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
