Strawberry Celebration Cake With Blood Orange Buttercream

The strawberry cake layer are light but they are plush. The strawberry flavour comes from both a concentrated strawberry purée and freeze-dried strawberry powder, with the latter being one of my favourite ingredients to use to achieve strawberry flavours without changing too much of the ratio of a trusted recipe. The cake layers sandwich a blood orange buttercream which is also in an appropriate shade of pink.
