I also think you will love my vegan blueberry lemon cake which is another fruity cake with great vibes.

Tips For Making Strawberry Cakes
Use Bright Red, Sweet & In Season Strawberries
Not only will these look amazing inside the cake, but they will also taste so fresh and delicious. The last thing you want to use are off-colour strawberries as they taste very unappetising.
Avoid using frozen strawberries too if you can.
Don't Over-Mix The Cake Batter
This cake is very soft in texture when it is made correctly so it is very important that you gently fold the batter. Over-mixing the flour is very risky and can result in you having a dense cake.
Ways You Can Decorate & Customise This Cake
You can also top this cake with:
- Streusel
- Dairy-free whipped cream
- Vegan strawberry cream cheese frosting
- Strawberry buttercream frosting
