Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ¼ cups pureed star fruit, divided
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries, divided
2 ½ cups heavy cream
2 ½ cups powdered sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mix flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
Beat 2 cups pureed star fruit, sugar, butter, and lemon juice in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually mix in dry ingredients until combined. Fold in 1 cup sliced strawberries. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup pureed star fruit together to make the icing.
Spread icing over the cooled cake and top with remaining sliced strawberries.
