Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients and milk alternately until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the strawberry puree using a rubber spatula.
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared pans and smooth out the tops.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool in pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
