Creating your very own Strawberry Swirl Cake with Strawberry Glaze is both straightforward and fun. Follow these steps to achieve that perfect strawberry masterpiece:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until smooth.
6. Add Strawberry Puree: Gently fold in the fresh strawberry puree, creating a marbled effect in the batter.
7. Divide Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Ensure even distribution for balanced baking.
8. Bake: Place the cake pans in the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven. Allow them to cool in their pans for 15 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and remaining strawberry puree. Whisk until smooth and glaze-like in texture.
11. Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of strawberry glaze on top. Add the second layer and top it with additional strawberry glaze.
12. Decorate: Garnish with extra sliced strawberries for a beautiful presentation.

By following these steps, you’ll create a stunning Strawberry Swirl Cake adorned with a luscious strawberry glaze that is sure to amaze both you and your guests.
