Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F and prepare two 8-inch baking pans with parchment paper and butter.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a small bowl, beat together egg yolks, blended strawberries, oil, food coloring, and vanilla until well combined.

Step 4

Fold egg yolk mixture into flour mixture until just combined.

Step 5

Whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.

Step 6

In four even increments, fold egg whites into the cake batter.

Step 7

Pour into prepared pans and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick can be inserted and removed cleanly.

Step 8

While cakes cool, prepare the frosting by creaming together the butter and chocolate. Beat in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla. Continue whipping until smooth and thick.

Step 9

Fill each cake layer with frosting and strawberry slices, and decorate cake to taste. I used fresh strawberries, raspberry jam, freeze dried strawberries, and chocolate ganache.

Step 10

Slice, serve, and enjoy!
