It is strawberry season here in Florida and I can’t stay away from the strawberry farm. The berries this year are big and oh so sweet. I have been out there every week to get strawberries since the season started right before Christmas.

I love the white cake I made this with, it makes a perfect cake for enjoying these delicious strawberries with. It has a nice crumb and is really moist. I baked this cake in my personal pan pizza pans, just because I wanted more layers than if I had baked it in a 8 or 9 inch cake pan without cutting the cakes into layers. These pans are about 7 inches across and I used 1 1/2 cups of cake batter in each pan. I got 4 layers of cake with this recipe. If you don’t have these pans, bake the cakes in 2 – 8 or 9 inch cake pans.

I am going to make cupcakes with this recipe this weekend. I am always searching for the perfect white cake from scratch recipe, this one comes pretty close to me.

I made whipped cream to frost the cake in so this is a real simple cake to make. For me there is nothing better than strawberries with whipped cream unless you throw some chocolate in there somewhere.
