Strawberry Frosting ingredients

2 C unsalted sweet cream butter softened
6 C powdered sugar
4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 C finely diced strawberries 
5-7 TBSP heavy whipping cream

How to make Strawberry Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray the cake pans with pam baking spray, set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine eggs, strawberry puree, vanilla, strawberry extract, pink food coloring, whisk until combined.

Using a standing mixer, whisk together the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.

Slowly beat in the butter and canola oil until combined.

Once the mixture looks like coarse sand, gradually beat in the egg mixture until combined. The batter will be very thick and fluffy but so good!

Evenly divide the cake batter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pans 10 min. then turn out.

Frosting Directions:

Using a standing mixer, cream together the butter, vanilla, powdered sugar, diced strawberries, and heavy whipping cream until combined and creamy and stiff with peaks

Directions to prepare the cake:

Once cake rounds have cooled, remove from cake pans and place onto a cutting board

Using the cake leveler, remove the domes of the cakes

Place one cake round onto the cake board

Scoop 1 C of the frosting onto the middle of the cake

Using the angled spatula, smooth the frosting out

Place the second cake layer onto the first layer

Repeat steps with the frosting and remaining cake layer

Scoop 1 C of frosting into the piping bag and set aside

Once you have built your cake, scoop the remaining frosting onto the top of the cake and use the angled spatula to smooth it out

Frost the entire cake until smooth

Using the piping bag, pipe dollops of frosting around the edge of the top of the cake

Place sliced strawberries along the sides of the dollops and in the middle of the cake

Enjoy!
