I've always liked strawberry cake but this cake has made a true believer out of me! Because of this cake, I LOVE strawberry cake now and can't stop thinking about this delectable, delicious, mouth-watering, tender, flavor-packed cake! How could I not love this scrumptious cake with such a dreamy frosting? It has some of my favorite ingredients in it (coconut, pecans, strawberries, cream cheese)!!! If you want to impress people with a strawberry cake, this is THE ONE to swear by. I can't wait to make it again!

Wonderful! I made this for my daughter's birthday (she loves strawberries). I did omit the coconut and pecans from both the cake and frosting, otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I checked the cakes after baking 18 minutes and I was glad I did because they were done. I made white chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate dipped strawberries and sprinkled them lightly with a mix of pink sprinkles. I then topped the frosted cake with the strawberries. We all enjoyed this immensely...the cake was flavorful and very moist. Thank you for the recipe.

My wife made this for me for our Valentines dinner. We absolutely loved it! She made the frosting with nuts and it really enhanced the flavor for us. This could fast become our favorite cake and we look forward to having it often!

I made this for Thanksgiving dinner, the frosting is a keeper though I only used 2 cups of confectioner sugar and the sweetness is perfect! I am disappointed of the cake because it came out a bit dry, though I followed the instructions carefully especially when mixing the batter. I don't know if I did something wrong. Anyhow despite all of this, I still enjoy eating the cake and of course the frosting! Thanks.

Yum! I made this for my son's birthday cake. I followed the recipe except I left out the coconut and pecans like others due to my son's personal taste. It was marvelous! I love the REAL strawberry flavor! My son loves strawberry cake so I'm sure I'll make this again! Thanks for posting!

This was so delicious and moist. I didn't add the coconut or pecans to either the cake or frosting, as my daughter doesn't care for them. The cake still turned out great. I also made only 2 layers instead of 3. Make sure to drain the berries well before adding to frosting, as it makes it softer and harder to spread.

I hate to go against the grain on this one, and I wonder if I did something wrong since it didn't turn out for me as well as the other reviewers liked it. But - my mother and mother-in-law really liked it! I think perhaps I like a lighter cake, so will look for a recipe that matches that taste better next time. Thanks for a fun one to try!

Hands down the best cake I have ever made. My family devoured it when I set it on the table! It looked so pretty and it was so moist and delicious, it had you at first bite! I added the nuts and coconut, which I think really added to the consistency of the frosting and cake too. What a "Special" cake, and now I have the recipe!

I made this a few weeks ago, minus the coconut and nuts. I also made my own butter cream frosting for it. It was so incredibly moist and delicious! Everyone loved it, and it was devoured by my friends and roommate lol. Be sure to grease your pans well, mine stuck a little. Also, I suggest chilling the cake before icing since it's so moist and light, cooling doesn't do enough.

This is a great cake, I made a small cake and cupcakes, for a Baby Shower. Loved, Loved, Loved the frosting!! Used raspberry jello mix instead of strawberry since it was on hand, and it was still great. The frosting is only a medium consistency, so if you add to many strawberries with to much juice I could see it really getting runny and going south on you. I was decorating the cupcakes with embellishents, so I had to keep everything really cold to hold up. I also added some pink food coloring to brighten the color, so it would match the baby theme. Just finished, and I love the way it looks, taste tested everything individually, so I'm excited to assemble my cake towers and taste the end result!

Wow. I don't even know where to begin! This is the second cake I've ever made. The first came from a box and jarred frosting. This was waaayyyyyy better! Humidity really makes frosting runny so I opened my kitchen patio door to let in the 35 degree cold weather. Frosting didn't run a bit even with my OCD spreading! My whole family has been raving about this cake! I think it's definitely best served cold. My oven cooks too fast so one layer burned around the outside but I just cut that bit off, next time I'll do 2 layers. It's soooo moist and flavorful and dense. Love it! Mmm my house still smells like strawberry batter. Thanks a lot! :D

I can't vouch for the cake since I only made the frosting but the frosting was outstanding! My Mother-in-Law said it remined her of a coconut chiffon cake she used to get from a bakery in NYC years ago. I used it to frost a white chocolate cake and it was a huge hit. Thanks for posting.

Great! I had many compliments about the cake including the frosting. I omitted the nuts and the coconut and it still tasted great.

Oh.My.God. This cake is absolutely delicious! I made this for my mom for Mother's Day and she said this was the best cake she's ever tasted. I used frozen strawberries and it turned out just fine. It is so moist and the coconut and nuts give it a wonderful twist. I'll be making this for my daughter's Strawberry Shortcake birthday party (probably without the nuts for the kids). My dad has already requested me to make this for Father's Day. Yes, it's that good. You'd be crazy if you didn't try this recipe!
