Recipe Notes

NOTE: This cake is easier to cut if you refrigerate at least 6-8 hours or overnight.

NOTE: It is not safe to put mashed, fresh strawberries into the icing. The strawberries need to be cooked first to avoid any spoiling or deterioration of the strawberries the longer the dessert is refrigerated.
