For the Strawberry Frosting:

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

   • In another bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, oil, vanilla, and strawberry puree.

   • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.

   • Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

3. Cool completely before frosting.

4. Make the frosting:

   • Beat butter until creamy.

   • Gradually add powdered sugar, strawberry puree, vanilla, and salt.

   • Adjust consistency with cream/milk if needed.

5. Frost the cake and decorate with fresh strawberries if desired.

Tips:

• For extra strawberry flavor, brush the cooled cake with a little strawberry syrup before frosting.

• If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain excess liquid before pureeing.
