There is nothing more classic in the cake world than strawberry cake (except maybe for German chocolate cake, pound cake, sponge cake, red velvet cake, and several others). But strawberries have been used in cake making for a long time now, so the strawberry cake is a natural thing. It is refreshing and makes for a great spring or summer cake. The fresh strawberries add an extra layer of natural sweetness to the cake, making it a top-notch dessert.
