- Pour the batter into your prepared cake pans evenly and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Cool the cakes completely on a wire rack.
- Beat the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar gradually, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Blend in vanilla extract and strawberry puree until fully combined.
- Whip heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form.
