Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Cake flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Whole milk
• 3 tablespoon Cocoa powder
• ¹⁄₂ cup Strawberry puree
• 1 cup Whipped cream
• optional for garnish Chocolate shavings

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just blended.
5. Divide the batter into three equal portions. In one portion, stir in the cocoa powder. In another portion, stir in the strawberry puree.
6. Pour each portion of batter into a separate cake pan. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cakes have cooled, place the chocolate layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top. Place the strawberry layer on top and spread another layer of whipped cream. Finally, place the vanilla layer on top.
10. Frost the sides of the cake with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings, if desired.
11. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
12. Slice and serve.
