Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup strawberry puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk mixture. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the cake completely on a wire rack before serving.
