1 cup fresh strawberry purée (strained)

Why these ingredients matter:
Strawberry purée provides natural color and flavor
Buttermilk ensures a tender crumb
Lemon juice brightens the strawberries without tasting citrusy
Strawberry Glaze Ingredients
1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Purée fresh strawberries and strain out excess liquid. This step is essential to prevent sogginess in your Strawberry Glazed Strawberry Cake.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy—this incorporates air for a light crumb.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix strawberry purée, buttermilk, lemon juice, and vanilla separately.
Add dry and wet ingredients alternately, beginning and ending with dry.
Pour batter into a greased pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–45 minutes.
Let the cake cool fully before glazing—this ensures the glaze sets properly.
