Thank you so much!
Some of the recipe could use revision (my second batch I switched the order of the butter/sugar and liquid ingredients), but after I got the hang of it- this is clearly the best cake recipe ever.
Beat texture, best flavor, nice and refreshing!
for the 3 layer round cake what size pans do I use?
I used 8-inch
HI.
is it possible to make a chocolate version of this, without the strawberries?
I used all-purpose, but I believe cake flour will work.
Could I bake this in a 9 X 13?
yes
Has anyone made this recipe? How did it turn out?

Do you add the cream cheese to the sugar and heavy whipping cream?
No, spread the softened whipped cream cheese in between the layers then top with berries, next layer, cream cheese, berries. Frost entire cake with whipped cream
