Pretty in pink and bursting with fresh, sweet, juicy berry flavor, this cake will get you through the last weeks of winter, and is perfect for spring and summer <\/strong>too!<\/em><\/p>\n Pink desserts are gorgeous attention-grabbers, but what matters is how they taste! Skip the supermarket baked goods (which typically contain artificial ingredients like strawberry flavoring) and enjoy my wholesome fresh strawberry desserts<\/a>. These rosy treats are picture-perfect and absolutely delectable! You\u2019ll love my Pink Velvet Cupcakes<\/a>, Single Serve Funfetti Cheesecake<\/a>, Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting<\/a>, and White Velvet Cake with Strawberry Buttercream Frosting<\/a>!<\/p>\n Strawberries make this cake a perfect springtime dessert! While it may not technically be spring yet, it\u2019s close enough\u2014and I\u2019m ready for it. A tiered cake<\/strong> is my go-to for big gatherings because it\u2019s surprisingly simple: just cake, frosting, and a straightforward filling like the one in this recipe. Plus, layer cakes feed a crowd effortlessly. Want to make things even easier? Bake the cake layers up to four weeks ahead<\/strong>, wrap them well, and freeze. They defrost beautifully, so you can take the stress out of your special occasion or get-together!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Prep Time <\/span>1 hour<\/span><\/span> hr<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Cook Time <\/span>30 minutes<\/span><\/span> mins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Total Time <\/span>1 hour<\/span><\/span> hr<\/span> 30 minutes<\/span><\/span> mins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n My easy strawberry cake has real strawberry filling and frosting, a naturally sweet flavor and vibrant color\u2014perfect for any celebration!<\/span><\/p>\n Author: <\/span>Gemma Stafford<\/span><\/p>\n Servings: <\/span>10<\/span> people<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
