This homemade strawberry cake recipe truly stands out from the average strawberry cake thanks to its fresh flavor and bright pink color. Rather than relying on artificial flavors or frozen berries that release water, this recipe uses fresh local strawberries that have been cooked into a delicious sweet glaze. The glaze is then swirled into the cake batter and used to soak the layers, resulting in supreme moisture and real berry taste in every bite.
