• 1 package frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed and pureed (10 ounces)

Preparation

Prepare the Cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Make the Frosting:

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the strawberry puree and strawberry extract to the cream cheese mixture. Blend well.
3. Gradually incorporate the confectioners’ sugar, beating until the frosting is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.

Assemble the Cake:

1. Once the cake layers are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of frosting on top.
2. Add the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
3. Optionally, decorate with fresh strawberry slices for an extra touch of elegance.
