Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs (room temperature)
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup milk
1 cup fresh strawberries (for glaze)
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three round cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients alternately with milk until fully combined.
Divide the batter among three bowls. Mix food coloring into one for strawberry flavoring, leave another plain for vanilla, and stir in cocoa powder for chocolate.
Pour each flavored batter into its prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before removing from pans.
Blend fresh strawberries until smooth and mix with powdered sugar to create the glaze.
Once cooled, layer cakes starting with chocolate on the bottom, followed by vanilla in the middle, topped off with strawberry. Drizzle generously with strawberry glaze before serving.
