• 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• For Strawberry Cream Filling:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
• For Frosting:
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
6. Prepare Strawberry Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, then fold in the strawberry puree until well combined.
7. Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of strawberry cream filling on top. Repeat with the second layer, then place the third layer on top.
8. Frost the Cake: In a separate bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
9. Garnish: Decorate the top with fresh strawberries. Slice and serve.
