Description
A stunning and delicious cake with vibrant layers of strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla, perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberry puree
- 1 cup chocolate batter (made with cocoa powder)
- Buttercream frosting
- Additional strawberries and chocolate for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 9-inch round cake pans.
- 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.
- In another bowl, mix flour and baking powder; gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk.
- Divide the batter into three bowls. Mix one bowl with strawberry puree, the second bowl with cocoa powder to make chocolate cake, and leave the third as vanilla.
- Pour the batters into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Frost each layer with buttercream frosting, stacking them to create a rose effect.
- Decorate with additional strawberries and chocolate before serving.
Notes
Allow cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting. Use different fruit purees for alternative flavors.
