Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper.
Beat softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to the batter alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
Gently fold in the strawberry puree until evenly combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow cake to cool completely.
In a chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then beat until firm peaks form.
Spread whipped frosting evenly over cooled cake and top with fresh strawberry slices before serving.

Notes

Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best natural flavor and color. Chill your mixing bowl before whipping the cream for better volume. Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, frost the cake the same day you plan to serve it.
