Strawberry Torte – Jordgubbstarta

"This was my grandfather's favorite dessert. Our grandmother would make this for him when ever he got too cranky. It always put him in a better mood. This recipe call for a sugar cake, but you can use a yellow or a white cake instead. A lot of grocery stores do not carry the sugar cake mix that this recipe calls for. I always liked the Duncan Hines brand, but this is a personal choice of mine. For the strawberries you can use either the fresh or the frozen strawberries. Make sure they are thawed out and you drain all the liquid from them before starting."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Love to try different recipes that I've never done before. Nothing to spicy or exotic and if I have all the ingredients I will try to make it. I love this website and all the different chefs on here. I also like to tweak my own recipes that I've posted after I read other chefs tweaks of my recipes. It helps me to be a lot more courageous in trying new recipes on myself. Thank you to all the chefs on Food.com
