For a more intense strawberry flavor, consider using freeze-dried strawberries ground into a powder and adding it to the batter. Ensure that all your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter and a more even bake. Gently fold in the egg whites to maintain airiness in the cake. When alternating batters, try swirling them together with a knife for a more defined marble effect. Adjust the amount of red food coloring to achieve your desired shade of pink or red. Before frosting, make sure the cakes are completely cooled to prevent the frosting from melting. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottoms of three 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper; grease and flour the sides. (5 minutes)
02
StepPuree whole strawberries in the bowl of a food processor or electric blender and set aside. (5 minutes)
03
StepMix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Add flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. (15 minutes)
04
StepBeat egg whites in another large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until peaks form. Gently stir into the batter. (10 minutes)
05
StepPour 1/2 of the batter in a medium bowl and set aside. Add pureed strawberries and food coloring to the remaining batter and mix well. (5 minutes)
06
StepPour batters evenly into the prepared cake pans, alternating between red and white batter in each pan. (5 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each layer comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Immediately run a spatula between the cakes and the sides of the pans. Let cool for 15 minutes; remove cakes from the pans. Remove paper. Cool completely on wire racks. (60 minutes)
08
StepWhile cakes are cooling, mix confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter, milk, strawberry extract, vanilla extract, and food coloring together in a bowl. Let sit for 15 to 30 minutes. (5 minutes)
09
StepFrost the bottom cooled cake layer and add 1/2 of the sliced strawberries evenly. Repeat for second layer. Add the top layer. Frost the top and sides, covering any trace of strawberries in the layers. (20 minutes)
