My Easy Strawberry Cake Bursts With Real Berry Flavor

Why Make This

This recipe uses real strawberry jam and freeze-dried berries for full berry flavor in every bite.
Easy steps and accessible ingredients make this cake beginner-friendly for home bakers.
For a pretty pink hue, add red food coloring or keep it all-natural with just the berries.

I’m one of three sisters, and all of our birthdays are within a few weeks of each other. My poor mother would make each of us a birthday cake, lighting the candles and going through the whole birthday party rigamarole week after week. She’d ask each of us what kind of cake we wanted, and while we tried to mix things up to keep it interesting, all any of us really wanted was a strawberry cake.
