Last Saturday night's dinner and game night gathering would have felt incomplete without a dessert, and I was inclined to try something new especially because the Roediger House regulars can be an understanding and forgiving group of test subjects. Oh, but it seems we were all pretty darned pleased, so let me introduce you to the first piloting of a pretty terrific strawberry cake. Fresh strawberries simmered with a bit of sugar into a jammy concentrate become key to flavoring both the layers and the frosting, as well as giving a nice natural color to that sweet buttercream. I am inclined to believe that the last time I made a strawberry layer cake was very likely in the late 1970s, when it was a regular Saturday night endeavor for this middle schooler to make a box cake while watching The Love Boat and Fantasy Island on the little TV on the kitchen counter.
