I chose this recipe for Pick a Chef '06 and I am glad I did. One of the reasons I chose it is because of the abundance of strawberries at this time of year in North Carolina. My baking time was 1 hour and 20 minutes and it came out beautifully. It is the perfect cake to serve with sweet delicious strawberries and whipped cream. Thanks so much, Bev for posting and this is one I will be preparing often.
