Preparation: 20 minutes Bake Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
- 16 oz All Purpose Flour
- 19 oz white sugar
- 2tps baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- 8 oz unsalted butter (room temperature)

Sift together the dry ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer. Turn the mixer to low and combine the ingredients fully.
Add the butter and sugar and mix for 2 minutes until the mixture resembles sand.
In a jug, place all of the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.
With the mixer on low, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture until combined. Once incorporated, add the freeze-dried strawberries and then turn the mixer to medium-high and beat for 5 minutes.

Test the cakes for doneness by inserting a skewer into the center. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
Pair this cake with a stabilized whipped cream or vanilla buttercream for the perfect bite!
