This cake is easy and delicious- the cream cheese frosting is SO good! I don't think I needed quite as much powdered sugar for the frosting though. YUM, and it's very easy to make!

This is the best cake ever. The frosting is too sweet. I added more cream cheese to even it out. I also used fresh strawberries. Thanks Paula

I've made this cake twice and will definitely make it again. Very moist! However, I did have to bake it an extra 10 minutes. Check it with a toothpick. I think it tasted better the second day. The first time I made it with a can of cream cheese icing with a few drops of red food coloring. DELICIOUS! Everyone loved it and asked for more. The second time I wasn't in a rush so I made the strawberry frosting. The strawberry v. vanilla extract instructions were confusing. I used vanilla. Seven cups of sugar tasted too sweet (we like sweet things. But any less sugar would have left it too runny. I also thought the icing was too bland. Maybe I will look for strawberry extract, but I suspect I will just make cream cheese icing in the future. It would be hard to improve on that. I also think it tasted great after being refrigerated.

My grandmother and I made it in March and it was still very good. It does taste better the next day. I didn't add all of the sugar as it called for. I also didn't put all of the puree in either. I thought it still had that very, very, strawberry taste to it. I actually think the strawberry extract did give the frosting a little kick to it.

One of the best cakes I ever made. Easy, delicious and it looks pretty. Made it for Valentine's day and it was a big hit! I did have to cook it 5 minutes more for the centers to be set.

I made this frosting for my Husbands Birthday, and it was awesome! The frosting honestly tastes like strawberry ice-cream. Though I didn't make her cake recipe, I made my own due to my Husbands request for a yellow cake. I will be inclined to try the cake reipe another time. A few notes on the recipe itself, I did add 1/2 cup of the Strawberry Puree, I thought 1/4 cup was too little. I also added only 4 cups of sugar, and it was very sweet. My Husband has a serious sweet tooth, and he thought the frosting was perfect. Add one cup at a time and try it until it's at your liking.



Enjoy!

I made this cake today and it just did not come out right. I followed the recipe exactly and my cake layers come out very thin. I also had to bake them for 30 minutes for them to cook be cooked. I should have read the other reviews before making this. My batter did seem on the thin side. Next time I will put only 10 ounces of strawberry puree in the batter and hope for better results. Sorry Paula.

I have used this cake for wedding cakes and just for home. There is one difference in the recipe listed here and the one that was in her magazine last summer. The magazine called for 10 ounce package of frozen strawberries pureed. I believe with 15 oz like this recipe calls for the batter would be way to thin. My cake turned out great with the 10 oz package of pureed strawberries.
