½ cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1¾ cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups pureed fresh strawberries

1. Line baking trays (you can do 2-3 layers, I did 2) with baking paper and heat the oven at 175 degrees celcius.

2. Mix dry ingredients flour, baking powder and baking soda together.

3. Cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy, then add eggs individually until thoroughly mixed.

4. mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture in three intervals, alternating with the buttermilk. (Start with the flour and end with the flour)

5. When everything is completely mixed, fold in the fresh strawberries.

6. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. As always, wait until the cake is thoroughy cooled before frosting ;)
