Grandma's Strawberry Cake

Submitted by AudreyJo Boviall

"This recipe came from my grandmother. Whenever this cake is made, it dissapears immediately. The strawberry flavor is so good and no one will believe how simple it is to make. Frozen strawberries can be used, but fresh ones are best. Prep time is a guess and does not include refrigerating overnight. Cook time is for the cake."

This was good but I was disappointed that the topping didn't sink into the cake.

I baked this one last night.. Very delicious. I may have mashed the strawberries a little much which made the pour on topping a little runny. Will make again...A really big hit. Thanks for sharing Geri
