This recipe is the closest to theirs I have found yet, but it is more dense and much sweeter. So... 4 stars for taste...this is delicious, but just a little too sweet and a little too dense. 3 stars for prep. Its not a hard cake to make, but it took twice as long to bake as the recipe recommends because there's a lot of liquid in it. After the recommended bake time, my cakes were just barely setting up from the batter stage, and I followed the recipe to the letter. Oven works, pans are good, I'm a competent baker, yadda yadda. Watch your bake time carefully. Also, BE WARNED: the frosting, which I also made to the letter, is WAY too liquid. 3/4 cup of strawberry puree is entirely too much, even after draining: it ruined the consistency and spreadability of the frosting, which wound up sliding off the cake. I also think the butter is unnecessary and I would eliminate it next time. Classic cream cheese frosting is just straight-up cream cheese, a box of conf. sugar and a bit of flavoring (usually vanilla or lemon). Here, I would add the strawberry puree (or the syrup from the frozen strawberries used in the cake) a tablespoon at a time, checking the consistency after each addition. You will not lose any of the strawberry flavor from the final masterpiece: the cake is so strong on it that you can get away with backing off on the frosting. 5 stars for how it looks: its lovely. With a little tweaking, this recipe will be a regular in our house.
