My intense strawberry cravings began last week, thanks to Luxirare, and continued unabated. Then I kept seeing this cake all over the internet — first at Saveur, then at Lottie + Doof, and finally Bon Appetempt — and no longer could I deny its garish, neon pink hue. I had to have it. So I made it for the Dep, added a box of fresh strawberries, and its happy rosy exterior did not disappoint.
i have never been a huge strawberry eater, but this summer just been, i seriously ate bucketloads. i had that craving too…
totally! and they don’t give me the raging stomachache that my cherry binges usually give me.
whoa indeed.
did you put strawberries in between the two cake layers? because that is a genius move.
totally! you can never have too few strawberries is what i say. added bonus: the strawberries got totally gooey and jammy after the 2nd day of that cake. so good.
i want to make this cake for my birthday! it’s so beautiful, but your cake seems to look the best (out of recipe links). which recipe did you follow?
thank you!
i used the lottie + doof recipe, but added a cup of cut strawberries in the frosting layer and used quite a bit less sugar – this cake is SWEET and it really doesn’t need all that white sugar.
