I love strawberries and I love cake so I decided to make this. I made this cake for my birthday. It came out great and everyone in the house loved it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

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.
