Making the Cake

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

    2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and pureed strawberries.
    2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

    2.5 cups all-purpose flour
