For the Strawberry Sauce:

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

For Decoration:

Instructions:

Preheat & Prep:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Set aside.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cream Butter & Sugar:

1. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla extract and strawberry puree until combined.

Combine & Pour:

1. Gradually add the flour mixture and milk, alternating between the two, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the pans and smooth the tops.

Bake:

1. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely on wire racks.

Make the Frosting:

1. Beat butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, strawberry puree, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until light and fluffy.

Cook the Strawberry Sauce:

1. In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the sauce thickens. Cool completely.

Assemble the Cake:

1. Frost the first cake layer with the strawberry frosting, then stack the second layer on top. Spread frosting all over the top and sides of the cake.

Decorate:

1. Drizzle the cooled strawberry sauce over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Garnish with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a stunning finish!

Serve & Enjoy:

1. Slice into this showstopper and savor the strawberry bliss! 🌟
