• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 cups granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream

For the Strawberry Frosting:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish:

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Cake:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
   • In a small bowl, mix the milk and sour cream until combined.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
   • Gently fold in the strawberry puree until evenly distributed.
   • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

2. Preparing the Strawberry Frosting:

   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy and smooth.
   • Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
   • Add the strawberry puree and vanilla extract, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.

3. Assembling the Strawberry Cake:

   • Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of strawberry frosting over the top.
   • Place the second cake layer on top and spread another layer of frosting. Repeat with the third cake layer.
   • Spread the remaining frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
   • Garnish with sliced fresh strawberries.

4. Chilling the Cake:

   • Refrigerate the strawberry cake for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.

Serving the Strawberry Cake:

• Serve the strawberry cake chilled, sliced into wedges.
