I took this recipe: used a larger pan, put half the (vanilla) batter in, added cocoa powder too the rest of the batter. poured chocolate chips over the vanilla batter, smeared on the chocolate batter, put on strawberries and sugar and cooked at 350 for 10 min then 325 for 20 more min (not an hour)..delicious!!

I've had a lot of success with this recipe. People really love it!

I have been making this cake for years and with fresh strawberries from Bishops Orchards it truly is a prize winner!

this one of the best recipes i ever cam across. This is best site for all recipes. keep up the good job

A great excuse to get out the old glass pie plate! Lovely, light & flavorful but I'd like to incorporate more fruit within next time. Used a almond-crumble topping to add some crunchy texture & served with vanilla froz yogurt. Guests raved!

Simple! Delicious! and Most of all EASY! Amazing topped with Whipped Cream.

Delicious and easy! I made this cake with fresh picked strawberries which were frozen. The juice from the thawed berries, reduced with some sugar, made a sweet sauce - the perfect complement to this fabulous cake. I will definitely make this again.

Very tasty! Definitley serve with whip cream.

i got a tiny bite and it was delicious.

Easy and delicious. I've made this cake several times and it turns out great every time. I've used raspberries as well as strawberries, and always serve with fresh whipped cream.

Fantastic! Find a you-pick patch near you then make this = YUM~O!

do you think that this could be made in smaller batches like cupcakes or as mini bundt cakes? I think that would be cute to serve as a brunch item.

this is amazing. thats all i can say! MMMMM! a MUST make.

This is the best shortcake/coffee cake/cake/dessert I have ever made!! Made it one day and turned around and made another one the nest day to freeze. (Don't cook the one to freeze too long as it will not be as moist.) We loved it. As for a pretty pan, I went to Amazon.com and got a beautiful red 10" pie plate for only $9.99 - what a steal and it looked beautiful!!

This cake has so much going for it: it smells heavenly when it is baking, is a great way to use up a large number of strawberries fast or salvage a basket that is not perfect enough to serve fresh and it absolutely scrumptious alone or with whipped cream. It also keeps really well, mine was loosely covered for five days and the last piece was as moist and delicious as the first!

This cake was delicious and so easy to throw together--had most of the ingredients on hand, which is always nice. I made it for father's day and it was enjoyed by all! Will definitely make again, maybe testing out different fruits on top. Definitely agree with the other post that likens it to a cross between pound cake and angel food cake. YUM!

This was easily thrown together and baked while we ate dinner. Nothing like warm cake with ice cream! Now, does anyone know where to find a beautiful pan like the one in the image? Beautifully rustic and appropriate for my cooking style.

I think this would be a great cake for a 4th of July party. I will add fresh blueberries and strawberries and then top each slice with whipped cream... go red, white and blue. I love this cake and want to try it with pineapple some time too. Easy to make and super delicious.

A perfect cake! I thought it would be so dry but because of strawberries it keeps the moist even for the next 2 days you keep it! i baked it two times and my friends loved it!

An excellent cake! Great alone, with fresh bananas, whip cream or ice cream.
I don't usually like new recipes I find online, but this one is a keeper and I will definitely be adding it to my recipe book for regular use.
-I used a regular blender to mix and baked for an additional 10minutes.
*Can't wait to make it again*

I made this yesterday and it was great! A previous poster was right on the money when they compared it to angel food cake meets pound cake- couldn't have described it better. My guests loved it and thought it tasted just like strawberry shortcake. Because we didn't have any milk, I used half and half mixed with water. There was no problem with this. I'm a beginner baker and this recipe was easy and turned out nice.

Just made this last night for some guests and it came out incredible! Even looked just like the picture, which I feel like does not happen often! Tastes like a cross between a light, fluffy angel food cake and a buttery pound cake -- just the right density. Easy to make, and a crowd pleaser.

I used a 9" pie plate and it worked out fine. I used frozen strawberries instead of fresh and it added to my baking time by about 10 mins. Other than that, the cake is great and a super base for other fruits as well, I'd think.

Don't have a 10 inch. I have a 9 inch cake pan or pie plate or I have a 10 inch cast iron. Any reccomendations on timing and which to use?

so very easy and delicious, a must try! something I make for my family again and again and everyone loves it.

so yummy! My guests raved about this- I served it warm, thanks!

This is my favorite cake to make. I sometimes add chocolate chips to it and people go nuts for it (although I think its perfect without).

wonderful recipefor summer! everyone loves it. easy to make and the sugar on top is to die for! must serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Great! and so easy. This is what I thought strawberry shortcake would be before I had it. It's going to be a staple at every summer party we host from now on. Very excellent with whipped cream.

This is VERY easy to throw together, took like 10 minutes, if that, and it was in the oven. Better yet, it's so delicous! It's a strawberry shortcake but so much easier! We ate it with freshly whipped cream and it was perfect.

Oh, and if you're tempted to cut back on that 2 tbsp of sugar sprinkled on top, don't! I thought it seemed like a lot of sugar for sprinkling on, but it made the top of the cake so tasty.

Simple and delicious -- a huge hit at the bridal shower.

This cake was fair by it's self but delicious with whipped cream!! Very easy to make. I will definately make it again.

was very easy to make, next time I'll probably halve the batter

The cake is and look delicious. But I suggest to alternate the milk and flour mixture to get a better dough and to bake it in a pyrex recipient.

I am anxious to make this cake. Do you think frozen strawberries can be substituted for fresh?

I'm looking forward to trying this, it sounds super easy!

We take this to brunches often. Using jarred cherries from Trader Joes works well too.

I bake this for friends all the time and they insist on getting the recipe. It is easy. Not overly sweet and complete with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Easy - more like a 'baked strawberry shortcake' - but better!
