My Birthday Strawberry Cake
"My Mother-in-law Debbie makes this for me every year for my birthday. It is my favorite cake that she makes, and of course, I love anything strawberry. To me this cake tastes better the more it sits, and is perfect with a glass of cold milk. Even though I'm not a boxed cake mix fan, there's always an exception, and this cake in my book is one of them."
