There is just something special about a recipe that you can trace all the way back to your childhood. It is about so much more than just the food itself. It is an experience when you make the recipe, it brings back memories, and that is especially true when it is cake! Strawberry cake to be exact.

I want to share with you a recipe that has been a permanent fixture in my family throughout my life. It is one of those recipes that comes up anytime we are searching for a good dessert. Like I said, it’s a favorite for my entire extended family, simply referred to as β€œstrawberry cake.” When mentioned, it is the one, the only. No more explanation is necessary.

A recipe I hold, written by my mom and came from my grandmother. It’s special, and that is what makes a good recipe! I hope you choose this when you want something special. I would be thrilled for it to become a recipe that is not only yummy but brings back memories from around your table as well.
