this cake was AMAZING! i have received the best compliment after making this cake (that it competed with the likes of my favorite cook/baker/human being). a lot of time and love went into it, but the smiles coming from friends and family was well worth it!

OMG! This cake is amazing! I love the fresh strawberries and the icing in this recipe is THE BEST!

Have made this twice now and both times were a huge hit! Changed it up a little the second time I made it though. Still used a pound of strawberries but used less sugar and put in a jar of strawberry preserves. Really made the “strawberry” flavor pop! Then I did not add the icing to the middle layers, just strawberries. I think it looks prettier and helps the cake be less sweet. I also changed the icing recipe to 2 sticks of butter and 2 bricks of cream cheese with 2 cups of powdered sugar. Also helped with the sweet factor really letting the strawberries shine through! Everybody loves this cake!

This ranks up there as one of the best cakes I’ve ever made. It takes some time, but the results are VERY worth it. I think the only thing I will do differently next time is add more strawberries. Just because I love strawberries!

This is one of my favourite cakes! I’ve mentioned in the comments to separate the batter into two separate pans for a perfect result! I have made this cake 3 times and it has been a hit EVERY time! Highly highly reccommend. 5 Mitts!

This is one of my favourite cakes! A few comments on the recipe having made this cake multiple times now. The recipe makes enough for TWO cakes, not one. Separate the batter into two separate pans and it will turn out perfect! Just cut a little off each cake at the top and it is beautiful. I sweeten the icing to taste and do not add nearly as much icing sugar as the recipe denotes. You do need quite a bit for the icing to stay on the cake and hold its shape. It helps if you put it in the fridge. Hope these tips helps someone else! Love this recipe!

I have made this cake twice in 1 week. The first time I made it as written minus about a cup of sugar from the icing and the vote was everyone loved it! The only comments were the icing was a tad too sweet but the birthday girl loved it! The second time I used the whipped cream cream cheese icing from TK and it was perfect!! In fact, I’m going to eat a third piece.

Fantastic cake. Family and friends LOVED it. I made one change to it (accidentally, but it worked) I made 2. When making the icing for the second, I realized my mistake, but by that time I didn’t have enough powdered sugar for the “correct” icing, and finished it the same as the first. I only used a 1-1/2 cups of powdered sugar for the icing, not 1-1/2 pounds. Will make this cake again, and again, and again.
