    Strawberry Chip Cake

    Published: Oct 14, 2013 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 3 Comments

    With many Amish families consisting of 8, 9, 10 or more people,celebrating birthdays is often a once a month or more affair. Of course, cake is a staple of the celebration. Most often the cakes are scratch-made (although boxed mixes are used in some places), smothered with some frosting, and that's about it...a very basic - but delicious - birthday cake.  Some of the best birthday cakes I've ever eaten have been Amish-made.  Lovina makes some superb birthday cakes!  Birthday cakes were on my mind because one of my nieces celebrated her 5th birthday over the weekend.  For the occasion my mother-in-law whipped up a creative, scratch-made "strawberry chip" cake.  I was a little wary of the flavor combination at first, but it really worked, so I thought I'd share her recipe with all of you!

      Kevin, on my computer screen the instructions for making the icing have cut off the first number or letter making it difficult to figure out how much confectioner sugar, butter, and strawberry juice should be used. Otherwise, it sounds like a delicious cake!
