My friend Anne loves to cook and I’ve asked her to share a few of her favorite recipes from time to time. I have tried this strawberry cake in the past and it’s very moist and fresh tasting. I thought it would make a festive Valentine’s day dessert. You could throw a few conversation hearts on the plate as Anne did or decorate it with a few chocolate covered strawberries on the top. The possibilities are endless!
I don’t know about you, but come midwinter fresh fruit sounds wonderful. It is when the longing for spring begins to bubble up, so it just makes sense that whenever my husband’s birthday rolls around, January 11, to be exact, a strawberry cake tastes fantastic! This cake has been his birthday cake as long as he can remember. My mother-in-law first encountered it at a cake walk in the 70’s. She won it and loved it so much she had to have the recipe.
Since the cake is pink, I thought it would make a pretty and festive addition to a Valentine’s meal. I hope your family and friends enjoy this little hint of spring deliciousness as much as we do!!
