- 250g butter, softened
- 4 eggs (room temperature)

- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4. Grease and flour two 23cm (9 in) round cake tins.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and powdered strawberry jelly until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter alternately with the milk. Blend in vanilla and strawberry puree. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared tins.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a small knife inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in their tins over a wire rack for at least 10 minutes, before tapping out to cool completely.

Used different ingredients. I couldn't find strawberry jelly power, so used raspberry instead and added strawberry jam to the filling. - 27 Apr 2009
i loved this cake! it came out great! i added a bit of red food colour just to make it more colourful. i would add just a bit more strawberry puree next time for a bit more strawberry flavour. - 03 Dec 2010
