Everyone in my family loves strawberries and everyone in my family also loves cake…combine the two together and serve up some Fresh Strawberry Cake, I got hugs and kisses for days. Well, maybe not days but at least no whining at the dinner table and hey, with these long and hot summer days, that’s a win in my book!
This cake is simple to make! It’s not too heavy and extra moist thanks to the added sour cream. The strawberries add just the right amount of flavor variation. Bake this cake and serve it up with some whipped cream and a fresh strawberry on top for a delectable summer treat.
