Instructions

Preheat & Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cream Butter & Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Combine Wet & Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined.

Fold in Strawberries: Gently stir in the strawberry puree until the batter is evenly pink.

Bake to Perfection: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool Completely: Let the cake cool in the pan before frosting.
