Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Grease and flour three (9-inch) round cake pans.

Beat in flour and milk alternately. Fold in the 1 teaspoon vanilla and the pureed strawberries. Divide batter equally into the three 9-inch round cake pans.

4. To make the filling, beat whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla on HIGH until stiff. Fill each layer with 1/3 of the whipping cream and 3/4 cup of the sliced strawberries.
   
   
5. Frost sides of cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Pipe an edge of frosting around cake top. Spread remaining whipped cream on cake top; garnish with quartered strawberries.
