Strawberry Cake

This fresh strawberry is to die for! My mom started making it when I went away to college so I never really learned to make it and actually forgot about it until I went home in March and she made it for Angela's birthday. I knew I would be adding this to my favorite go to desserts. It is actually very simple to make and will definitely be a big hit!
