I made this and iced with white chocolate ganache on top and a strawberry cream cheese icing on top. I put fresh strawberries and cream between the layers. Made a wonderful birthday cake, perhaps the best ever!

I had high hopes for this recipe. I wanted to make it for my daughter's first bday, but I really wasn't impressed. I like the strawberry flavor and the glaze is awesome. I didn't like the texture. It is too heavy and muffin like (as others have mentioned) I also found that it wasn't moist enough. Overall it was just ok.

All five of us LOVED this cake! It is sweet, but not too sweet...fruity, but not too fruity...rich, but not too rich. My husband who has never given ANY recipe more than 4 stars gave this a 5!! I didn't know how many strawberries to crush, but found that one quart was about 1 cup too much (though we will use the leftover today to make extra glaze for the remaining cake as we didn't have quite enough glaze for the second cake round). I made the glaze drippy enough that it could just barely be drizzled & then drizzled over each individual piece of cake just before serving. It made it look very "chef'y" :o. And, we liked this served warm best. Oh, also I didn't have cake flour & used the 2 1/4 cups flour less 2 Tbsp which I substituted corn starch for. It came out perfect!

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.
