It’s not often that I bake with white flour, white sugar and butter, so when I do it’s a real treat for everyone around me.
Especially my family, ya all know how they’re such a tough crowd to please.
This year for my brother’s birthday I baked a simple vanilla cake and topped it off with sliced strawberries and an almond crumble top.
Everyone loved this Strawberry Almond Crumb Cake, especially my mom, and so much so that she froze the leftovers for another day.
This cake isn’t too sweet. The strawberries add sweetness with a little tartness, and additionally I didn’t go too crazy on the sugar and butter amounts.
The perfect spring or summer cake, and just in time for Mother’s Day!
Hope you guys love it as much as my family and I did, especially my mom!
A light spring & summer cake that goes perfectly with a cup of coffee. Strawberries are an excellent source of Vitamin C and a good source of Fiber. Additionally, strawberries are a great source of Antioxidants. Other than that, there is no nutrition in this cake. Enjoy in moderation!

Palak Paneer is a classic North Indian dish and flavored with simple spices. IMO… the key ingredients are using lots of garlic, green chilies (remove seeds if needed), and adding a dollop of butter at the end.

This looks incredible! My mom (and I) would love it, too!
Thanks.. it was delicious and lightened up. My mom loves cakes without frosting.
See. Butter cakes are the best!
BTW, look at this: https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2014/13_0390.htm#table2_down
Yup 🙂
BTW the new format is hard to look for old recipes. I like the old dropdown menu. I can click on random month in one go.
On the right there is an archives dropdown, you can search old recipes there by month. Thanks!!!
