1. Get the cake ready:

- Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Beat the sugar and softened butter together in a big bowl until they are light and fluffy.
- One egg at a time, add them, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and stir.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture gradually, starting and finishing with the dry ingredients and alternating with the buttermilk. Blend until barely mixed.
- Gently fold in the strawberry puree.
- Among the prepared pans, distribute the batter equally.
- When a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, bake for 25 to 30 minutes. After allowing the cakes to cool in the pans for ten minutes, move them to wire racks to finish cooling.
2. Prepare the frosting:
- Beat the softened butter until it becomes creamy in a large bowl.
- Add powdered sugar gradually and mix on low speed until well blended.
- Incorporate the vanilla extract, strawberry puree, and a small amount of salt. Beat until fluffy and smooth at a medium speed.
3. Put the Cake Together:
