This was so good! I love strawberries and I love gingerbread, so I knew I would love this! My kids loved this cake too. I served it with whip cream but it is so moist that it really doesn't need any topping. I have frozen some pieces for my kids to take as snacks for school and they are thrilled. thanks for sharing this, i'm glad I tried it.
