I used a gluten-free flour blend to make this cake and it turned out great! My gluten-free friends and family were so happy to be able to enjoy this delicious cake.

I added some chocolate chips to the cake batter and it was amazing! The chocolate chips added a nice richness and depth of flavor to the cake.

I'm not a fan of cream cheese frosting, so I made this cake with a whipped cream frosting instead. It was delicious!

The cake was good, but it wasn't anything special. I've had better strawberry cakes before.

The frosting was too runny. I had to add more powdered sugar to get it to the right consistency.

The cake was easy to make, but it didn't rise very well. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The cake was a bit dry, but the frosting was delicious. I think I'll try adding some more moisture to the cake next time, maybe by using buttermilk or sour cream.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
