FRUIT CAKE - CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY LEMONADE

Image
  FRUIT CAKE -  CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY LEMONADE Fruit cake  - Lemonade Cake with strawberries. A delicate layer cake recipe topped with a tangy, sweet fresh strawberry buttercream icing and infused with lemon juice, zest, and fresh strawberries. While my beloved Lemon Blueberry Cake has always been a hit in our home, it also rapidly became a reader fave when I shared it last summer.  So many of you have tried it and commented on it. I'm grateful. It turns out that one of the most frequently requested questions regarding this dish is whether or not I can use strawberries in place of the blueberries.  Furthermore, although I totally see the craving for a strawberry and lemon combination, it's not as simple as just substituting these berries. I thus made a  Fruit cake strawberry variation of the lemon blueberry cake following our strawberry harvesting excursion, which you can read about here!  This  Fruit cake embodies summer's greatest qualities: it's...

FRUIT CAKE - CAKE WITH COCONUT AND LIME

    FRUIT CAKE - CAKE WITH COCONUT AND LIME     One of the simplest ways, in my opinion, to transmit influences from far away home is through food.  Cooking with spices and other unique flavours can take you on a culinary adventure throughout the globe.  So why not savour our preferred island flavours in the comfort of our own homes?  Even better, it's a cake!   As I previously indicated, I can't stop dreaming about sand between my toes, beach sunsets, creamy coconut, and zesty lime.  I've blended a rich, buttery coconut cake with an unexpectedly delicious lime-coconut for this Fruit Cake.  Fruit Cake - Chocolate and citrus go along so well, and this version is no different.
