HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM CAKE?

This bright pink layer cake is strawberry-on-strawberry perfection, made with real strawberries in the cake mix and icing. One thing to keep in mind with the buttercream frosting—it is positively overflowing with berry flavor but is prone to being over-mixed. No worries if you accidentally break your emulsion while mixing up this frosting. Simply add a little amount of extra powdered sugar to restore it. Having said that, we like how pure the strawberry taste is in this frosting, and would suggest adding more powdered sugar sparingly to avoid diluting the berry flavor. For me, a little cracked frosting that tastes like strawberries is preferable to a completely immaculate icing that tastes like candies.
