Crazy Busy Mama Tip:
You can do more than just strawberry, try any frozen berries or mixed berry for a variety in taste. No need to thaw out the strawberries first they will thaw inside the cake. If you prefer you can place sugar on the fruit too this will sweeten up even a bit more for you, but honestly this dessert still has incredible flavor without the extra sugar so I keep it out keeping this dessert pretty low calorie and low sugar when it comes to desserts.
