  3. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt; whisk together.
  4. Add the strawberry puree, 1/3 cup of oil, 1/2 cup of dairy-free milk, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the dry ingredients; mix gently until combined.
  5. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 20 to 23 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Level the tops of each layer, then stack with optional preserves in between and frost the top and sides with vegan frosting.
  8. Decorate with fresh strawberries or a sprinkle of pink gel food coloring.
