Nothing reminds us more of the beginning of summer than this easy, moist citrus cake topped with fresh cream and berries. The zesty lemon combined with the sweet strawberries is a delicious combination. Think of a big glass of ice-cold lemonade garnished with bright strawberries.
You can make this cake in a regular pan, but the bundt mold makes it look so much more impressive.
