🍰 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line two or three round cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract and strawberry puree.

Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 2: Bake the Cake

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool completely before assembling.

Step 3: Make the Filling

Beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add melted white chocolate and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, fluffy filling.

Step 4: Prepare the Frosting

Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar.
Mix in melted white chocolate, vanilla, and milk until smooth and spreadable.

Step 5: Assemble the Cake

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of the white chocolate cream cheese filling.
Add the next layer and repeat.
Frost the entire cake with the prepared frosting. Smooth or decorate as desired.

Step 6: Decorate
