Fresh

Strawberry Cake

With spring also comes one of our favorite crops in Harnett County and that is strawberry season!!! What fun
to go out in the fields and pick fresh strawberries! There are several strawberry farms across the county that
grow this delicious plump berry. After you get your strawberries home and wash them, you will probably be
in search of a great recipe. If you are looking for a cake recipe we have found an all time favorite in our recipe
archives. Pair it with a nice cold glass of milk while reading your spring issue of Harnett Life Magazine.

Cake ly incorporated. Divide the batter into 3 pans. Bake
