This Strawberry Cake is fantastic, and bursting with strawberry flavor!
Start by blending strawberries into a puree, then cook the puree in a saucepan over medium heat.
Mix dry and wet ingredients, then add 1/2 cup cooled strawberry puree. Stir to combine, and add a few drops of red or pink food coloring if desired.
Divide batter into three greased, parchment-lined 8-inch pans. Bake at 350°F for about 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cook strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat until thickened. Transfer to a bowl and cool completely.
To make the Strawberry Frosting you'll need butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and the Strawberry Puree.
When assembling the cake, put in-between layers the Frosting and the Jam. Put strawberries on top, also.
