Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F 175C. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed strawberries.
Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
For the frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and strawberry purée, mixing until smooth.
Spread the strawberry frosting between the cake layers and over the top and sides. Decorate with fresh strawberries if desired!
