The wife decided she wanted a strawberry cake so I made one using a recipe from my go-to place for all things baking. 







Well this cake has one major flaw for a woman who wants strawberry cake today. It goes in the refrigerator overnight after the icing soaks through it. This one will go to my in-laws for dinner tomorrow. 

I needed another strawberry cake recipe that was a little different than the other cake. King Arthur to the rescue again. 






Thanks for looking.

    Strawberry cake in my favorite. I usually get the Berry Crocker. Yours looks much better.

    Thank you for your ideas and pictures! Guess my mind is and always will harken back to my childhood some 60 and 70 years ago in IA and MO of homegrown strawberry plants sprouted up through the straw to protect them. Then the shortcake was always made from inexpensive Bisquick.   But YOURS LOOKS TERRIFIC!

    Your SWMBO is fortunate beyond words for your do-over.  Both look great.

    Yep.  I'd hit both of those.  Hard.  Well done.

    The cakes look amazing. Fresh strawberries and corn really used to signal summer. Now they're available year round like a lot of things are and I think that association is fading.  Not good or bad, just different.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    strawberries from the store are never as sweet or ripened as those picked fresh off the plant. they have come along way with corn but those buying locally still have their favorite farms to go to. still hard to beat corn picked the day you cook it

    ^^^ we vac sealed and froze local corn (cooked and shaved off the cornhub) last summer, still way better than store bought ones.

    I can report back that the first cake is off the chain. No pics were taken to avoid being heckled by my FIL. 

    Definitely give that recipe a go if you like strawberry cake. 

    Woooo!

    I feel like this happens to me far to frequently.  I don't read the recipe all the way through and then out of nowhere: "place in cool dry place for 24-48 hours." 

    Great looking groceries right there if I can steal Matt's tagline!

    Adding this to the list of things to bake. The cinnamon roll recipe link you posted a while ago was really good.
