Fresh strawberry cake recipe

With such lovely strawberries all over, had been itching to bake a strawberry cake, and the kiddo had started demanding it too, so did one recently and it came out so soft, gooey and yummy. I tried my hand at the electric beater and it no doubt airs the batter so well  to ensure the sponginess. Its a must try, contains the goodness of fresh strawberries, seeds and dried berries! Also, is a treat to look at!
