STRAWBERRY SUNSHINE CAKE
I got this recipe out of a Taste of Home book last summer and I love this recipe. I made it for a BBQ and my daughter requested it as a birthday cake. I've also used strawberries and blueberries for 4th of July celebration. The recipe recommends slicing the cake with a serrated knife. To split the cake into three layers I use dental floss - Makes a nice clean cut.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cake.
