I got this strawberry cake recipe from my daughter's grandmother. It is absolutely incredible.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is a very moist cake!  If we close our eyes while eating it, the aroma almost makes us feel as though we're eating fresh strawberries.  There's no better endorsement than that!

How To Make mama seward's strawberry cake recipe

  • Step 1
    CAKE: Mix all cake ingredients together and pour into a 9x11-inch pan. You can layer in 2 smaller pans if you'd prefer. Do not fill the pan to the top, or the batter will bake up too tall.
  • Step 2
    Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
  • Step 3
    FROSTING: Mix together frosting ingredients. It's very important that strawberries are drained. If too thick, keep adding strawberries until it is the right consistency.
