    Wow, trying to find a strawberry cake that is from scratch was quite a chore, but boy am I glad that I ended up with this gem of a recipe! Trust me, even though there are not many reviews on this cake recipe, the cake will be one you will remember. Word of advice... Do not skip on fresh strawberries, to give it more flavor add some raspberry (low sugar jam to the strawberry liquid, and the recipe works perfectly in an 8x8 glass baking pan if you do not have ramekins, and make sure to layer a lot of strawberries on the bottom.. you will not regret it! And if you cannot find strawberry nectar take your fresh strawberries and place them in a bag, take a meat tenderizer, MASH them!, then put them through a sifter with the raspberry jam to create your very own nectar. Putting it through the blender will make the strawberries loose its texture which will make the cake less moist. Better than any boxed strawberry cake you will ever be tempted to buy!!!!!

    These were delicious. My only issue was that the mascarpone was hard to find, I looked up online that it was possible to substitute with a mix of cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream.... It added more ingredients but it worked. Also the tops did not come out as pretty as I wanted but it still looked great and tasted amazing.

    I finally made this cake after printing out the recipe awhile back and I really love it. It was easy to make and very moist. I used strawberry and banana nectar instead of strawberry and it was just as good. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This cake was very simple to make, and I love how moist it is. It would have been better had if any of the grocery stores in my area had carried strawberry nectar, so I replaced it with mixed berry nectar. I must say this was the best fruity cake I have ever eaten.

    I loved the moistness of the cake and the warm sugary syrupyness of the strawberries. I substituted the mascarpone cheese for low-fat vanilla yogurt. Still tasted delish! Also, for the strawberry nectar, I used frozen strawberries, water and a bit of sugar and boiled it on the stove, kind of like jam. I used frozen strawberries in this recipe. Not a bad idea!!!!

    my dad is diebetic so he asked for a cake recipe that he could eat. i just replaced the brown sugar and sugar with truvia and added some strawberries in the dough instead of the nectar. and he really liked it. i even put extra strawberries on top for more sweetness. it was really good. :

    I didn't have ramekins so made it in an 8 inch square pan. Also made a substitute for marscapone cheese. Delicious moist cake that had my friends asking for the recipe
