The main thing I wanted to share today, though, was one of the desserts. My sister-in-law Traci made a delicious strawberry cake! And it turned out so pretty.
I didn't think to get the recipe, and waited too late to get it before my post. But while we were there, I did ask if she used the recipe where you poke holes and pour Jello on top of the cake to soak in. (It was really moist, so I knew she had put something in it.) She said her recipe called for pureed strawberries with juice poured over the top.
So I went looking for recipes. This one at the Duncan Hines site was the closest I could find. Click here for the recipe.
Traci used whipped topping on top. And yes, she had 50 blueberries! :)
So yummy and moist! I hope to try making it soon.
Now that's a clever idea. I'd have to tweak it a bit for up here. Ditch the blueberries and get creative trying to make a maple leaf out of strawberries! :-) And oh my goodness, but the idea of pureed strawberries leaching into the cake...divine!
ReplyDeleteIt was divine, Kav! When you make your maple leaf cake, be sure to send photos. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious. Okay, this question begs being asked. Does Tracy work out? She looks like a body builder, making me feel distinctly dumpy this am.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Tina. Yes, she runs. I'm not sure about the gorgeous arms. She might go to the gym too. :)
