My daughter is obsessed with strawberries. The girl is tiny but she can put down some strawberries. Since we always have a least a pound of them in our house, I decided to make a strawberry cake. And of course, Miss Leah loved helping me make it and snuck some strawberries to eat as well.
This is a super simple and light cake with a fresh strawberry taste and not artificial at all. Pureed strawberries and strawberry yogurt is the secret of the fresh flavor and the super moistness of this cake too. I love the flavor of this cake, so much. Then, what else do you top it with but cream cheese frosting. Duh. I vote cream cheese frosting on everything.

4. Add in the flour mixture a little at a time, mix on low just until combined. Be sure not to overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared 9×13 inch pan. Bake for 27-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
6. CREAM CHEESE FROSTING- In a mixer, combine the cream cheese and butter, beat for 1-2 minutes, until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and gradually add the powdered sugar. Beat with the mixer until well combined. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake.
