About Strawberry Summer Cake Recipe
Strawberry cake is a cake with strawberries as the main ingredient. It can be used in the cake batter, on top of cakes, and in the frosting of a strawberry cake, and they are typically served cold. Strawberry cakes can be made with strawberries in the batter,
strawberries on top, strawberries or a strawberry filling in between the layers of a layer cake, or any combination of these ingredients. Some are made with strawberries mixed into a frosting. Strawberries can be used fresh or frozen. Some people use strawberry-flavored gelatin as an ingredient, which can turn the cake pink when mixed in with the batter. Strawberries were first used in a recipe for Strawberry cake published in The Ohio Cultivator on June 1, 1845. Eliza Leslie of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania popularised the recipe in her book The Lady's Receipt-Book (1847).
