    Especially my family, ya all know how they're such a tough crowd to please.Strawberry Almond Crumb Cake
     
    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.Strawberry Almond Crumb Cake
     
    Everyone loved this Strawberry Almond Crumb Cake, especially my mom, and so much so that she froze the leftovers for another day.Strawberry Almond Crumb Cake
    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.Strawberry Almond Crumb Cake (55)

    Strawberry Almond Crumb Cake

    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!

      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.

      Had a few strawberries that I needed to use up and was craving dessert that wasn’t pancakes. Came across this recipe and as usually Nisha killed it. This came out so well!!! Loved it. ❤️
