This Homemade Strawberry Cake is not made with box cake mix and jello. I much prefer to make cakes the old-fashioned way, with pantry ingredients and real strawberries. The frosting is a blend of butter and cream cheese. Strawberry pulp turns the frosting a pretty pink, with bits of strawberries. This cake is a show stopper! The frosting was off-the-charts delicious!
