Strawberry Cream Cake

My siblings and I put together a little parade of desserts for Mother's Day and this was my contribution... a Strawberry Cream Cake, recipe courtesy of Cook's Illustrated magazine. Layers of vanilla sponge cake filled with a chopped strawberry mixture and a really rich whipped cream and cream cheese frosting. Good stuff, and photogenic.
