Abundant Strawberries

 Strawberries are in! I couldn’t help myself; I had to post my two new strawberry cake recipes that are scrumptious!!! They are very similar, but different enough to try both. The second cake recipe is the one I took to the May Pamlico Emmaus Gathering.Dummy me forgot to take a picture of my own cake; so, I had to use the one off the website where I got the recipe. God bless you! Enjoy!
