5 stars for me! Just made this for my daughter's sixth birthday and she proclaimed it the "best cake ever mom"......Only things I altered were I used french vanilla cake mix as per other reviews and added more strawberries (aprox 1 cup) .....frosted with cream cheese whipped icing and topped with fresh strawberries - thanks for posting!!!

Good cake. I will make it again. I did make my own frosting with cream cheese powder sugar and fresh strawberry's and was really good too. My kids and husband loved it.

I am not a big strawberry cake fan, and I thought this this cake was just okay - not amazing as many reviewers claimed. Maybe it's because I don't care for strawberry cake. I followed the recipe exactly (except sub French Vanilla cake for white) and frosted the cake with a mixture of cool whip, cream cheese and strawberry jelly.

I followed this recipe exactly and I was surprised at how thick the batter was. I baked this recipe in a 6x6 and a 4.4x4.5 pan and it burned on the top and was still batter in the middle. I threw it out. This may have worked in a 9x13 pan but most cake recipes are more versatile.

I just made this cake today, and it is sooo good! I read other reviews and used French Vanilla cake mix and only half a packet of sugar-free strawberry jello. I baked it for 24 minutes in two 9-inch round pans. I also defrosted and pureed the strawberries (about 1 cup). I mixed all the liquid ingredients first and then stirred in the dry. Mine didn't turn out the bright color of the picture, but more of a pretty medium pink color. I also frosted with the Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting recipe from this site. Try this recipe! : )

Absolutley Divine !!! I made this cake for my sons birthday and everyone raved about it and wanted the recipe. I did as other posters did and used 1 1/2 C. fresh strawberries and doubled the recipe. I could have eaten the whole thing myself. Wonderful recipe !

when i read all the positive reviews i expected this cake to be delicious, the best strawberry cake ever. But it wasn't all that. I used fresh strawberries instead and used french vanilla cake mix. The cake was soft, but the flavor was somewhat unusual. Somewhat bland, not much of a flavor. Regular strawberry cake mix actually tastes better than this recipe. Its not a cake that I would make again.

This recipe was great, I just made a few changes & took a few suggestions to make it more healthful and it was still amazing, I made it for my friend's 25th birthday and it got raves! I used unsweet apple sauce in the place of the oil, 2 eggs and 2 egg whites instead of 4 whole eggs and I used half a .6 oz package sugar-free strawberry jello and it was just right. For the filling I used the recipe for pineapple cake filling on here and substituted chopped, thawed frozen strawberries for the pineapple but still used the pineapple jiuce andI used Splenda instead of white sugar. And finally for the frosting I used the recipe for Cool Whipped Frosting on here, but used White Chocolate Pudding mix instead of Vanilla and I used Free Cool Whip for the container of whipped topping. I garnished the cake with fresh strawberry slices and just a touch of white chocolate shavings. The cake ended up being a treat for the tastebuds and the eyes, and it wasn't terribly guilt inducing.

This is a great version of this classic recipe. I chose to try this one over my original, that I've used for years, because of the buttermilk. I find that buttermilk gives baked goods a nice texture. Will use this recipe again!

The strawberry pieces in the batter turned out well. The frosting was great. The strawberries that I put on top sweated and dripped pink water on the top of the cake. Served this for bunko and the entire cake got eaten. Not my favorite, only because I know I can do better, but it certainly wasn't bad. Good for Vday or a little girl's birthday.

I usually make all my cakes from scratch, but I can't find a strawberry cake recipe that comes out any better than this one. I've used it for years.

I made these into cupcakes for my husband's birthday because he loves strawberry cake. These were ok for us. I followed the directions and only made a few minor substitutions which could have caused my lowere rating. They had an almost bitter taste or like something was missing. I used sugar-free jellow and french vanilla cake mix. I blended fresh strawberries and used 8oz in the mix to give a real strawberry taste. We topped the cupcakes with whipped cream and fresh stawberries. They were moist and tasted good but not what I was expecting. I will probably try another recipe before I use this one again.

I own a small cake business and received an order for strawberry cake which I had never made before. Your recipe seemed simple. I used a different icing recipe with marshmallow in it. I just heard from my customer. She said the cake was delicious and it reminded her of one from her childhood. This is a keeper.

A little sweet for my taste, but it was a big hit at Bible study. I made this as cupcakes and cooked them for 12 minutes, but they could have used more time... maybe more like 14. I topped them with cream cheese frosting. Mmmm!
