  7. Make the frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, strawberry puree, vanilla, and salt. Beat until fluffy.
  8. Frost the cake: Frost the cooled cake layers and decorate as desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh strawberries and strain the puree if too watery.
  • Store the cake in the fridge but let it come to room temperature before serving.
