Strawberry Sheet Cake

👩‍🍳 How to Make Strawberry Sheet Cake

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch sheet pan.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 5: Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Step 6: Fold in the pureed strawberries gently until evenly distributed.

Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Step 8: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9: While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: beat the softened butter until creamy, gradually add powdered sugar, then beat in strawberry puree, vanilla, and salt until smooth and fluffy.

Step 10: Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
