I was expecting great things after reading the reviews but was fairly disappointed. I followed the recipe to the letter and found it to be a very average cake with a slightly weird texture (probably due to the flour/fat ratio). It was certainly not exceptional and I would probably find another way to use up strawberries in future.

Delicious!!!! I followed another reviewer's suggestion and made it in a 13x9 pan. Then poured the glaze on top!! Tastes like a strawberry shortcake when it's served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream!

This is the BEST strawberry cake recipe! Everyone loved it! I increased powdered sugar in glaze to a more frosting consistency--delicious!

I made this for my brother's birthday, as he is such the strawberry fan. He loved it. My other brother said it was the best dessert he had ever eaten-this was after his third helping. I baked in a 9"x13" pan. After baking, I poked holes in the cake and poured the glaze over it. I then covered it with Kittencal's Stabilized Whipped Cream. It was very good. Thanks for posting.
