4. Pour batter into pans and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. An inserted toothpick should come out clean, and cake will look slightly browned on top.

5. Let cake cool completely before frosting. (Note: I even bake mine the day before and keep it in the fridge, then frost the day I am going to serve it.)

FROSTING:

1. Whip the softened butter with sugar and vanilla. Gradually add mashed strawberries until the frosting reaches the right consistency. (Note: this frosting is not a stiff frosting, but it's not a glaze. It may run slightly down the sides as it sits.)

2. Frost the cake and store in the fridge until serving.
