Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 lb butter
  • red coloring (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 (9-inch) cake pans with parchment; grease paper.
  2. Cream 1/2 pound butter and 2 cups sugar. Beat in 4 eggs, 2 tsp. vanilla, 1 Tbsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. baking soda. Add 3 cups flour and 2 cups buttermilk alternately. Fold in 1/2 pound chopped strawberries. Scrape into pans.
  3. Bake until a tester comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
  4. Make buttercream while cakes cool. Bring 1 pint sliced berries and 1/3 cup water to a boil, stirring; remove from heat. Beat 4 yolks and 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar; stir into liquid. Stir in 1/2 tsp. salt; cook, whisking, until temperature reaches 170°F. Off heat, beat in 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice; let cool. Beat in 1 pound butter 2 Tbsp. at a time until fluffy. Add a drop of red coloring, if desired.
  5. Place one cake layer on a platter. Spread 3/4 cup buttercream on top. Add top layer and frost cake.
