Ingredients
For the cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups finely chopped fresh strawberries
For the frosting:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Fresh strawberries, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in the chopped strawberries.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and let cool completely.
To make the frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and cream and beat until light and fluffy.
Spread the frosting between the two layers and over the top and sides of the cake. Garnish with fresh strawberries, if desired. Enjoy!
