Strawberry Cake….For One!
Serves: 1
O.K, so I am assuming you have all figured out by now that I LOVE using fresh berries in just about every single thing I make! Can you really blame me though?? Now is the time of year that they are fresh, juicy, sweet and so much cheaper! I can’t wait until I can go and pick my own! Yes, I’m that girl….I love to go picking my own fruit! Until then, I will continue to buy these little nutrient packed beauties at the store….and deliver you a variety of different recipes for them!

This makes one large cake, in my opinion!! I ate this the next day and it was absolutely amazing! It was so moist and full of fresh strawberry flavor and sweetness! I topped it with some fat-free ricotta mixed with a few drops of stevia! I was in cake heaven! These would be fantastic as cupcakes as well!!
