Strawberry Buttermilk Cake

When strawberries come into season in the spring, we always pick enough to freeze so we can use them year-round. You don’t even need to wash the strawberries before freezing–just leave them in their little basket and put it in a ziplock freezer bag. It might seem odd, but if you don’t wash them, you don’t add any extra moisture, and they will keep longer. When you’re ready to use the berries, just defrost in the fridge and clean and hull them as you would if they were fresh.
