This is an amazing cake that is so tender and moist and delicious that it's hard to say no to the second piece! We ate the whole cake in one sitting at my house, so you know it's THAT good!!!

This was a winning recipe with me and my co-workers right down to fighting over the last piece! Frosting was delicious and complimented the cake. I will make again, as I love strawberries and especially in this cake! I can't believe anyone would say this was just OK, because it was DELICIOUS!

It was only ok. Nothing special. Not worth it.
