Strawberry Cake (Best Ever, Moist, Bakery-Style)

This Strawberry Cake tastes like real strawberries—sweet, bright, and fresh—with a soft, fluffy crumb you’ll love. The key is a quick strawberry reduction that concentrates flavor without making the batter watery. Then you finish it with strawberry cream cheese frosting flavored with freeze-dried strawberries for big berry taste and a silky texture. It’s the perfect bakery-style Strawberry Cake for birthdays, spring parties, or any weekend you want something extra special.
