A scientist-physician student in the lab where I work made this and it is most excellent. I'd love to add rhubarb to it though. I love that combo. How much would you put in the glaze? 50% strawberries and 50% rhubarb?

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. FOR CAKE: Sift together: flour, salt, and baking powder.

Her notes:

"I don't like my cakes super sweet so I use 1 cup sugar instead of 1 + 1/2 and I use 1 cup strawberries instead of 3/4 cup. For the icing, I use 1/2 a cup or less and more strawberries (1 cup instead of 3/4). I also bake it as one cake instead of two cakes with icing in the middle. I do 55 ish minutes at 350 degrees."
