  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients alternating with whole milk until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold in the puréed strawberries to maintain an airy texture.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  8. Bake for approximately 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow cakes to cool in pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
