I made this cake exactly by the recipe for Easter dinner. I did frost it differently. used a tub of coolwhip and then fresh cut strawberries with melted choc drizzled over top. Absolutely wonderfu! They devowered it! I am just not a fan of sticky frosting. I also read a review that this cake recipe can be used as a breakfast cake! Absolutely!!! wonderful cake!

I thought this would be so good and I bake all the time. I will never make it again. I think the problem was too much oil, way too much.

The strawberry cake was awesome. The only reason that I gave this recipe a 4/5 was I found the icing too sweet so I added more strawberries. It got rave reviews from my in-laws!

I didn't use the frosting that was suggested, but the cake was amazing. I made the batter just as suggested in two round pans for a layered cake. I put raspberry preserves between the layers, because I didn't have strawberry. It was delicious. I topped the cake with cream cheese icing and decorated it for my Father-in-law's birthday... strawberry is his favorite. We all thought it was delicious.

Review for the cake only. The previous reviews caused me to not make the frosting. The cake is moist, sweet and flavorful enough that I didn't think it really needed icing. Served with whipped cream and a few fresh berries. Followed cake recipe except did not include the nuts. It seemed that everyone liked it (it was eaten) but no real excitement or requests for the recipe this time. Enjoyed trying a new recipe. Thanks for sharing!

I only made the frosting (used another recipe for the cake). I left out the coconut. The frosting was good and VERY sweet. It was not as thick as I would have liked. Not sure of what to add to fix that. Will make again next year though (for my dad since strawberry cake with strawberry frosting is always his birthday request). :)

I can only comment on the frosting portion of this recipe. I made a checkerboard cake using white cake and strawberry cake (I did not use this recipe because it uses a boxed cake mix and I wanted to make it from scratch). I used the frosting from this recipe to frost between the layers of the cake, and used a white icing to frost the outside. I thought the consistency of this frosting was perfect, and the coconut added nice flavor and texture. It went beautifully with my cake! I will use this frosting again.
