Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup cocoa powder (for chocolate layer)
- 1 cup strawberry purée (from fresh strawberries)
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three round cake pans and dust with flour.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Divide the batter into three bowls: leave one plain for vanilla, mix cocoa powder into another for chocolate, and add strawberry purée to the last for strawberry flavor.
- Pour each batter into its respective pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool in pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks. Once cooled completely, stack layers with frosting between each.
