Taylor Prince of Raleigh, North Carolina sent in a fabulous strawberry cake recipe. North Carolina is the fourth largest producer of strawberries in the country. Almost all strawberries grown in North Carolina are eaten in the state. Growers who plant on plastic set out about 17,500 plants per acre each fall. One acre can yield as much as 20,000-30,000 pounds of strawberries over the season. Go to your nearest strawberry grower, pick a bushel and make an exciting cake for the weekend!
