I made this twice, once for an office party and again for a New Year's party, everyone loved it! The 2nd time around I poured in half of the batter, then some of the strawberry puree, then the rest of the batter and topped with more strawberry, it gave it a stronger strawberry flavor. I also topped it with some whip cream, which gave it nice extra kick. Topping it with left over pureed strawberries seemed like over kill and was just too strong.

I'm "49 & holding" and love to cook. I learned to cook as a child, standing in a chair watching my grandmother. She was very talented in the kitchen and passed her love of food on to me. My DH tells me he would be a much thinner man, if my cooking wasn't so good. We have two kids, both out of high school and getting about on their own. Our son is more interested in cooking than our daughter.
