For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, ripe strawberries. Frozen strawberries can be used in a pinch, but be sure to thaw and drain them well before using. Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. To prevent the cake from sticking, grease and flour the cake pan thoroughly. For a richer flavor, you can use salted butter in the frosting. If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
