Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three 8-inch round cake pans with butter and dust with flour.

- Gradually mix in dry ingredients alternately with milk until just combined.
- Prepare strawberry puree by blending strawberries until smooth.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool layers for about 10 minutes in pans before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
