Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix with finely chopped strawberries, vegetable oil, eggs, and buttermilk. Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  3. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans, smooth the tops and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Remove cakes from oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Once cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate, optionally add a layer of glaze or cream filling before placing the second layer on top.
  7. Pour the remaining glaze over the top layer allowing it to drip down the sides for a glossy finish.
  8. Garnish with fresh strawberries on top and allow the glaze to set for 20-30 minutes before slicing.
