Wow Bev, this is yummy! My aunt brought me strawberry picking over the weekend and I made her this cake as a thank-you gift. She loved it! The cake was moist and smells SOOoo GOOD when baking! I bake about twice a year and never with much success, but this was really easy. Actually I don't even have an eletric mixer, but with the help of BF, the result was still good. Midway through baking I found the cake was already browned but the cake's not done yet (must be because I have small oven), so I cover the pan with aluminum foil and continue baking. It wasn't a problem. I omitted the syrup because I don't have it and becuase the strawberries were already very sweet. Thank you again for this great recipe, I am so glad my aunt loved it! :D!!
