Strawberry cake is a cake that uses strawberry as a primary ingredient. Strawberries may be used in the cake batter, atop the cake, and in the frosting. Strawberry cakes are typically served cold.
Overview
Strawberry cakes may be prepared with strawberries in the batter, with strawberries atop them, with strawberries or a strawberry filling in between the layers of a layer cake, and in any combination thereof. Some are prepared with strawberries incorporated into a frosting. Fresh or frozen strawberries may be used. However, using cooked strawberries tends to lose its flavor and turn brown while frozen strawberries are mostly sweeter and riper. Some may utilize strawberry-flavored gelatin as an ingredient, which can give the cake a pink color when it is mixed in with the batter. A garnish of strawberries is used on some strawberry cakes. Strawberry cake may be prepared as a gluten-free dish. The cake can be served with icing on top and sides of the cake.
Some versions are served chilled, and some are frozen and then served in a partially frozen state. Strawberry cake is sometimes prepared using a prepared cake mix as a base, such as a white cake mix, upon which additional ingredients are added to the batter or atop the cake. It is sometimes prepared and served as a dish on Valentine's Day.
Ingredients
Typical ingredients for a strawberry cake are unsalted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and milk. The strawberries can be fresh or frozen. While raspberries or sliced peaches can be used as an alternative, strawberries were the primary ingredient for this cake. For the frosting, Whipped cream can be used or an icing which is made by mixing egg whites and powdered sugar. Other ingredients include Jell-O to maintain its pinkish color of the cake. Also, Ricotta cheese is sometimes used as an ingredient in the cake batter or as a topping.

History
In pre-colonial days, Wild strawberries were abundant in North America. Native Americans often ate fresh and dried strawberries. Native Americans would create strawberry bread by mashing wild strawberries and adding cornmeal as a primary ingredient. Around 1607, Strawberry bread became popular with the early settlers. Besides Native Americans, Europeans discovered how wild strawberries are better in North America than in Europe due to its bigger size and its exquisite flavor.
Growth of strawberries marked the end of winter for Native Americans. Europeans have combined their version and created strawberry shortcake
One of the earliest references of a strawberry cake recipe can be found in the journal Ohio Cultivator in 1845. In 1847, the same recipe appears in the book Lady's Receipt-Book by Eliza Leslie.

Strawberry Cake is a live album and 53rd overall album by American singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1976. The album includes numerous pieces of between-song stage banter. The album includes several of Cash's most well-known early songs, such as "Big River", "I Still Miss Someone" and "Rock Island Line", as well as a number of more obscure compositions, some of which were performed by Cash for the first time; this includes "Strawberry Cake" and "Navajo". The title track was released as a single, but did poorly on the charts, peaking at No. 54.
The concert was held and recorded at the London Palladium on September 21, 1975. An IRA bomb threat warning was given as June Carter Cash started to sing "The Church in the Wildwood" meant the theatre had to be evacuated but the show continued after the building was searched. The bomb threat announcement and the subsequent evacuation order is included on the recording and is, in fact, a "hidden" track and is not listed on the record sleeve or CD cover. Later, prior to the performance of "Destination Victoria Station," June Carter Cash is heard joking that the threat might have been made because she was about to sing.
Track 7 is mislabelled on the sleeve as "Dialogue" but is, in fact, a comedic a capella duet performance by Cash and June Carter Cash of "Another Man Done Gone", a song Cash had recorded for Blood, Sweat and Tears. Prior to performing "Rock Island Line", a song Cash recorded for Sun Records, singer Lonnie Donegan, who had a major US hit with the song, is introduced in the audience.
