4. 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 🥄

5. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 🧂

6. 1/2 teaspoon salt 🌊

7. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈

8. 4 large eggs, room temperature 🥚🥚🥚🥚

9. 1 cup buttermilk 🥛

10. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿

1. 8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀

2. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈

3. 4 cups powdered sugar 🍰

4. 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed 🍓

1. **Preheat and Prepare:**

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, ensuring a smooth release for your delightful creation.

2. **Strawberry Bliss:**

   In a blender or food processor, puree the fresh strawberries until smooth. Set aside, as this puree will infuse your cake with the essence of ripe strawberries.

3. **Dry Ingredients Symphony:**

   In a bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This dry mix forms the base of your strawberry cake.

4. **Butter and Eggs Elegance:**

   In another large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract into this velvety mixture.

5. **Alternating Dance of Wet and Dry:**

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, ensuring a smooth batter. Gently fold in the fresh strawberry puree, distributing the strawberry goodness evenly.

6. **Bake to Perfection:**

   Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. **Strawberry Cream Cheese Symphony:**

   For the frosting, blend together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fluffy. Gently fold in the fresh strawberry puree, creating a luscious and pink-hued frosting.

8. **Assemble and Decorate:**

   Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a generous layer of the strawberry cream cheese frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake, creating a visual masterpiece.
