    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 3 round pans, 9 x 1 1/2 inches.

    mixer on medium speed 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat flour
    mixture and milk alternately into butter mixture. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla
    and the pureed strawberries. Pour into pans.

    Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire rack. Cool completely.

    Beat whipping cream, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in chilled
    large bowl on high speed until stiff. Place one layer, top side down, on

    strawberries. Repeat with second layer. Add third layer, top side up. Frost
    side of cake with Cream Cheese Frosting; pipe decorative edge around top
    edge of cake with frosting. Spread remaining whipped cream on top of cake.
    Top with quartered strawberries. Store covered in the refrigerator.

    large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Beat in 4
    cups powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla until creamy.
