This recipe was past down to my Mom from my Aunt Kathleen (My Dad's Sister). The reason my Mom asked her for the recipe was the first time my Dad took a bite of my Aunt Kathleen's strawberry cake, He made the following statement: "I believe that's the best tasting cake I've ever put in my mouth". Well you can imagine how that went over. I believe it is a FAVORITE of all of My family.
