Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting reminds me so much of the Easter gatherings we had as kids. My grandfather loved anything with strawberries. He would bring home strawberry shortcake, strawberry pies or make strawberries with cream any time we visited. He especially loved strawberry flavored boxed cake mixes, very pink and very delicious.
Strawberry Cake is perfect for Easter
I still love the flavor of Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting in the springtime. The natural strawberry essence from fresh strawberries can be easily extracted by pureeing the fruit. Also, the addition of tangy buttermilk adds to the fruity flavor and improves the cake texture.
Recently I bought some 6”(15.2cm) round cake pans. I love using them because the resulting cake is taller and eye catching. However, 8”(20cm) round cake pans are what most people have in their batterie de cuisine. Whatever cake pan you use, this recipe produced about 6 cups of cake batter. If you use a sheet cake pan or a bundt cake pan, your baking time will have to be adjusted. Let me know if you experiment with the shape of this delicious cake.
Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese might even make good cupcakes, but I haven’t tried that yet. I always love the drama of a good layer cake presentation. But I have nieces that love cupcakes, so stay tuned for the cupcake version in the future.
Happy Easter Y’all!
Easter time is when we get together with family and enjoy the sunshine. In fact, that is what I am preparing to do after I finish this recipe post. AS much as I love writing recipes and cooking, there is a beautiful world outside the kitchen. Turn off your phone. Enjoy a slice of cake with your family, lay in the sunshine with your dog, make a memory. Hugs, y’all!
