Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Alternate adding the dry flour mixture and the milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Step 6
Gently fold in the pureed strawberries and diced strawberries until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
To prepare the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 11
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Step 12
Mix in the strawberry jam and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 13
Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer, then place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake evenly.
Step 14
If desired, garnish with fresh strawberries on top. Slice and serve!
