Strawberry Cake

Strawberry Cake

• amber6573 13 years ago
  I would love to know why it is so difficult to find a good strawberry cake recipe. I love to make scratch cakes, but have been unable to come up with anything that tastes really strawberry. If anyone has any ideas, please help me out, I'm begging! Thanks so much, Amber.

  I made this one for my daughters birthday. It uses real strawberries, no jello or other box stuff. You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. http://www.jasonandshawnda.com/foodiebride/archives/1088
