Melt butter, add to a bowl along with the rest of the wet ingredients. I mixed it with a hand mixer. Mix wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.
Place cake batter into any greased 9-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Top cake with sliced strawberries. I grew up adding cold raw milk to strawberry shortcake, to this day it's my favorite way to serve but it's also delicious served with whipped cream or ice cream.
