There are great cakes. And then there are requested-for-birthdays-and-scarfed-down-in-minutes-cakes and this is one of those amazing types of cakes. For about 40 years my mom has been making this recipe. It's the family's and extended family's favorite. Whenever anyone is asked which cake they want for their birthday 9 times out of 10 they request the Strawberry Dream Cake.
