In keeping with the theme of my last post I thought I would share my favorite recipe for strawberry cake. I have made this several times now and it is always a hit. I'm still experimenting with the icing, but my fav so far is fresh whipped cream folded into whipped cream cheese with a little extra sure to taste. This combination seems to work best as a filling when I make strawberry cupcakes. The texture is wonderful and not too sweet when you use one part fresh strawberries and one part frozen sweetened strawberries. The cake in the picture was made for a friend-in-need-of-a-good-cheering-up. The cake stand was my gradmother's. She surprised me with it when she found out I had been searching for one. The wearing gold rim is delicate and whimsical. It shows all the signs of good use. Although, the tale I tell about it is nothing like my grandmother's it is still wonder-ific all the same.
