The season for fresh strawberries may be coming to a close in Alabama, but you can still enjoy the delicious strawberry flavor with another local favorite- strawberry cake! Bright pink with a sweet and tangy icing, strawberry cake makes a pretty and delicious dessert for showers, cookouts, parties, and everything in between. Several greater Birmingham businesses are well-known for their version of this sweet treat, and I highly recommend you taste-test all of them! Here are eight places to find strawberry cake in Birmingham:
1. Ashley Mac’s Kitchen
A Birmingham staple, this fast-casual cafe serves up southern classics, including a much-beloved strawberry cake! With 5 locations, you can find them in Homewood, Cahaba Heights, and Hoover.
2. Delicious Bakery
Located in Alabaster, Delicious Bakery bakes a wide array of treats and specializes in cakes. Customers especially love their six-layer strawberry cake.
3. Edgar’s Bakery & Cafe
This long-time Birmingham cafe offers a yummy breakfast menu and delicious sandwiches and salads, but Edgar’s is most known for their desserts. While the impressive display case makes it hard to choose, the strawberry cake is a fan favorite! Try it for yourself at one of their seven locations across the greater Birmingham area.
4. Iz Cafe
