Let’s Start Baking!

• Start by preheating the oven at 360 degrees. Meanwhile, prepare three 8 inch x 2 inch round cake pans and grease them with baking spray or some oil.

• Now take a medium-sized bowl pour add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into it. Whisk all these ingredients until well combined. Set aside.

• Take another mixing bowl and add sour cream, strawberry puree, strawberry extract and oil. Blend all these ingredients together and set them aside.

• Take one mixer attachment and blend the butter until smooth. Keep adding sugar and meanwhile keep blending for about 3 to 5 minutes until it turns fluffy.

• Add 1 egg. Further, add the flour mixture and sour cream alternately. If you wish you can add a little pink colour to the mixture.

• Mix everything together until well combined. Now pour this mixture into the already prepared baking pans and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until when the toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Let the cake cool completely for about 5 to 10 minutes.

• Now let’s start with strawberry filling. Cut white chocolate into very small pieces and put them in a microwave-safe bowl and add 4 tablespoons of milk or cream.

• Microwave for about 15 seconds and let it cool down completely before use.

• Whisk butter and powdered sugar until soft and combined. Further add the white chocolate and milk mixture, vanilla and salt. If required, add a few tablespoons of milk more. Beat this mixture for about 3 to 4 minutes until it turns smooth and creamy.

• To assemble the cake, place the first layer of cake over a cake turntable.

• Spread the white chocolate buttercream from one end of the cake to the other. Then add half of the strawberry puree filling on top of that.

• Then add the next layer of the cake and repeat the same steps. Once done fill the gas in between and then frost the cake with chocolate frosting. Garish with some white chocolate curls and fresh strawberries.
