If you have been searching for a dessert recipe featuring fresh strawberries, or have been looking for a way to use up fresh strawberries you have on hand, your "fruitless”"search had come to an end. Introducing — strawberry cake!

Strawberries are perhaps the most popular type of berry in the United States, and are loaded with Vitamins B and C, potassium, iron and fiber. In the 1800s, they were considered a lavish fruit enjoyed only by wealthy people. Today, however, they are enjoyed by all Americans, regardless of social class or age. Favored for their sweet taste, juicy texture and versatility, strawberries are also used in baking. If you are like me, you love anything and everything involving these sweet, nutritious berries!
