I absolutely love this cake! I make it for my family and they enjoy it as well!
Thank you so much, Jolene! We love it too! It’s so light and fresh!
Amy, is their a substitute for the frozen strawberries in syrup? I have had trouble finding them in the grocery store. Usually sold out. Wondering if I can use sweetened fresh strawberries but concerned there may be too much/too little juice.
I think fresh strawberries tossed in bit of sugar would be delicious!
This cake is so refreshing. I will make it again. Thanks
Love love love this cake!!! Thanks again for another great recipe!!!
