Ingredients
Strawberry Puree
- 1 lb fresh strawberries washed and hulled
Cake
- 2 ½ cups cake flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar or pure maple syrup
- 1 cup Strawberry Puree
- ½ cup plain full fat Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- fresh strawberries for topping (optional)
Strawberry Buttercream Frosting
- 1 cup butter softened to room temperature (vegan butter works)
- ¼ cup Strawberry Puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- If you haven't already made the strawberry puree, wash and hull your fresh strawberries and add them to a blender and blend until smooth and no chunks remain. You should end up with 1 ¼ cup strawberry puree. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray three 6-inch cake pans or two 8-inch cake pans with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients: cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add your eggs, sugar, 1 cup strawberry puree, yogurt, oil and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer whisk on medium high speed until fully combined and smooth.
- While running hand mixer on low speed pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix until batter is just combined and smooth. Don't over-mix!
- Pour batter into prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 20-23 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 5-10 minutes. Remove cake from pans and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cake is cooling make frosting by whipping butter, vanilla and ¼ cup strawberry puree together with a hand mixer on medium speed. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time, whipping on medium speed until fully combined and nice and fluffy.
- Once cake is at room temperature frost it. Cut cake and serve.
- Store cake in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the fridge for about 5 days.

- Storage: Store any leftover cake in an airtight container on the counter for 1-2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
