📝 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans.
2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3️⃣ Cream Butter & Sugar: In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
4️⃣ Make the Batter: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined, then fold in the strawberry purée.
5️⃣ Bake: Divide batter evenly into the cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely.
6️⃣ Make the Frosting: Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, strawberry purée, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy.
7️⃣ Assemble the Cake: Level the cake layers if needed. Stack them, spreading strawberry frosting between each layer and around the cake.
8️⃣ Prepare the White Chocolate Drip: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat white chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
9️⃣ Drip the Ganache: Pour the white chocolate ganache over the cake, allowing it to drip beautifully down the sides.
🔟 Decorate & Serve: Top with fresh strawberries and sprinkles for an elegant finish.
