Strawberry Cake Times Two

Our big boy -- the only boy! -- in the house just had a birthday and requested a big cake. His request: a rectangular strawberry cake, "this" high (demonstrated with two hands), with thin icing. Nah, he's not picky.

So I doubled my strawberry cake recipe and baked it in three rectangular pans. It's a really big cake!

 Thin icing doesn't make for a beautiful cake. Birthday boy gets what birthday boy wants!

I also made vanilla bean ice cream -- post with recipe to follow!
