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, but this cake is also beautiful when you cut a slice and the marble effect appears. Perfect for any special occasion.
