Description

A light and moist strawberry cake bursting with fresh berry flavor, topped with creamy strawberry buttercream—perfect for springtime celebrations.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all‑purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
  • Optional: 2 Tbsp strawberry jam (for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease and flour an 8‑ or 9‑inch round cake pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream butter until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla (and jam, if using).
  4. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to butter mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients; mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in chopped strawberries.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely before frosting.
  8. Frost with strawberry buttercream (see Notes) and garnish with fresh strawberry slices if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use ripe but firm strawberries to avoid excess moisture.
  • If batter seems too wet, drain chopped berries on paper towels before folding in.
  • Strawberry buttercream: beat 1 cup softened butter with 3–4 cups powdered sugar, ½ cup pureed strawberries, and 1 tsp vanilla until light and fluffy.
  • Store frosted cake in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Freeze unfrosted layers (well‑wrapped) for up to 2 months.
