INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Prepare the Strawberry Puree:
   – In a blender or food processor, puree the chopped fresh strawberries until smooth. You should have about 1/2 cup of strawberry puree. Set aside.
2. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Cake Pans:
   – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans, ensuring that they are well-coated to prevent the cake from sticking.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
   – In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a tender and moist cake.
4. Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
   – Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated. The eggs provide structure and richness to the cake batter, while the vanilla adds depth of flavor.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   – In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the whole milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the Strawberry Puree:
   – Gently fold the strawberry puree into the cake batter until evenly distributed. The strawberry puree infuses the cake with a luscious pink hue and a burst of fresh flavor.
7. Bake the Cakes:
   – Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Tap the pans lightly on the countertop to release any air bubbles.
   – Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. The cakes should be golden brown and spring back lightly when touched.
8. Cool and Assemble:
   – Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can frost the cakes with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting, if desired.
   – Garnish the top of the cake with fresh sliced strawberries for a beautiful presentation.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
   – Slice the best strawberry cake ever into generous portions and serve to eager guests or enjoy a slice for yourself.
   – Relish in the sweet, tangy flavors of fresh strawberries and moist cake, letting each bite transport you to a summer paradise.
   – Share the joy of this delectable dessert with loved ones, and bask in the warmth of their smiles as they savor every mouthful.
ENJOY IT 💖
