Notes about this recipe

    The cake was so soft that it sagged in the middle, not ideal for layer cake construction. The cooling rack itself left an imprint! Cake tastes like a sweet muffin and it's similarly crumbly. I don't think the strawberry juice is very noticeable there. The strawberry cream cheese frosting is excellent. I'm refrigerating for a few hours to get the whole thing to hold together better before slicing. It was so soft I was afraid I was going to have to make a birthday trifle of it instead. Update: top layer did fall apart shamelessly but the frosting and strawberry center meant it tasted great. I got a few pretty slices off the cake center , but it was just breaking on the back end. I'd make the frosting again, but use another cake base.
