Ingredients:
For the cake:

- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
For the strawberry buttercream:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease two 9-inch cake pans and set them aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Golden Cloud cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cakes comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
For the strawberry buttercream:
- In a large bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and mix until well combined.
- Beat in the pureed strawberries and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar, and if it is too thick, add more pureed strawberries.
- Once the cakes are cool, spread a generous layer of the strawberry buttercream between them, and then cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
- Serve and enjoy!
