Equipment

  • blender
  • saucepan
  • two 8-inch round cake pans
  • electric mixer

Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 1 lb Fresh Strawberries, hulled
  • 2 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 drops Pink Gel Food Coloring (optional)

For the Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries, sliced (for topping)

Instructions
 

  • Blend the strawberries into a smooth puree. Pour into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until reduced to 3/4 cup. Cool completely. Reserve 1/4 cup for the frosting.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease two 8 inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, vegetable oil and sugar for 3 minutes until fluffy. Beat in 1/2 cup of the cooled strawberry reduction, the vanilla and the food coloring if using.
  • Add the dry ingredients in two additions, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix on low just until smooth.
  • Divide between the pans and bake for 28 to 32 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
  • Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, then add the powdered sugar, vanilla and the reserved 1/4 cup strawberry reduction. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes until fluffy and pale pink.
  • Layer the cakes with frosting in between, cover the top and sides, and pile the sliced fresh strawberries on top just before serving.
