- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs

- 4–5 cups powdered sugar (sifted)

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

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

- Beat in each egg one at a time. Then stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in your dry ingredients alternating with milk.
- Gently fold in 1½ cups of the pureed strawberries until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between your prepared pans. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- In another bowl, beat your room temperature butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar while alternating small amounts of strawberry puree.
- Once cooled, trim any domed tops off your cakes, spread some strawberry buttercream on top of one layer, place another on top, and cover with remaining buttercream on top and sides.
