Description

This strawberry frosted cake has a fine, tender crumb thanks to the reverse creaming method and the addition of brown sugar and buttermilk, but the real star of the show is the fluffy pink buttercream. It's made from freeze-dried berries, which have a more concentrated strawberry flavor than most fresh ones. Freeze-dried berries also have the distinct advantage of always being in season, though you are encouraged to top this cake with fresh berries when they're sweet and abundant.
