Instructions

Notes

  • Add a lemon glaze on top for extra sweetness.
  • Layer with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting for a richer dessert.
  • Substitute strawberries with raspberries or blueberries for variation.
  • Drain strawberries well if using frozen to prevent excess moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and tender.
