Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in the strawberry puree and vanilla extract.

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Top each slice of cake with whipped cream and sliced strawberries before serving.
