I love strawberries and I love cake so I decided to make this. I made this cake for my birthday. It came out great and everyone in the house loved it.

They say all good things come to those who wait... this cake recipe has a few steps and the outcome is beautiful and delicious. The cake itself is moist, fluffy and rich with strawberry flavor marbled in. Junia's cream cheese frosting is creamy with a hint of strawberry flavor and amazing. Not only tasty, this cake is beautiful when you cut a slice and the marble effect appears. Perfect for any special occasion. Test Kitchen Avatar The Test Kitchen
