Creating your own Strawberry Cake is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
6. Add Strawberry Puree: Fold in the strawberry puree gently until evenly combined.
7. Divide Batter: Pour the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Prepare Frosting: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
11. Assemble Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of whipped cream frosting on top, followed by chopped strawberries.
12. Add Second Layer: Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream.
13. Decorate: Garnish the top with additional chopped strawberries for a beautiful finish.
