For an extra touch, consider adding a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a splash of milk or lemon juice after the cake has cooled. Ensure the butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better incorporation. If fresh strawberries are not available, frozen strawberries can be used, but be sure to thaw and drain them well before adding to the batter. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an even more decadent dessert.
