Moist Strawberry Cake
by Mary Ann F from San Diego, CA
This is the ultimate strawberry cake. It’s made with fresh, juicy strawberries and a deliciously sweet, creamy strawberry frosting. The cake is fluffy and tender with bits of fresh strawberries throughout. On top, the creamy strawberry frosting is the perfect complement to the cake. There are even more bits of fresh strawberries in it that add texture and flavor. There’s a little prep work for strawberry cake, but it’s worth it!
