This Strawberry Cake recipe is a family favorite at every celebration. My granddaughters especially love it and ask for it on their birthdays. It can be made into cake layers or cupcakes. The icing is super sweet and delicious! Since the recipe uses 1 cup of sliced strawberries, I usually slice up a carton of strawberries, add about 1/4 cup of sugar and stir them until the sugar is melted creating a bowl of nice juicy strawberries. Then I measure out 1 cup and place in freezer bags and put in my freezer until the next time I need to make this cake. The sweetened strawberries are also delicious to use when making strawberry shortcakes with whipped cream on top! Just sayin… we love strawberries! How about you? Y’all enjoy! Love, gg
