Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
1 cup powdered sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
1 tablespoon lime juice
Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir in the lime zest and pureed strawberries until just combined.
Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Frosting: In a bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add lime juice and mix until well combined.
Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
Garnish: Decorate with fresh strawberries on top if desired. Slice and serve.
