Strawberry season is one of my favorite seasons. Since I was born during this season, most of my childhood birthday memories have strawberries in them. Not only in my birthday cakes but also picking them in my grandma’s garden and eating them until I couldn’t breathe any more 😉
This creamy cake is light and fresh, and it will be a perfect addition to your family BBQ dinners or for any other occasion!
