Let's Be Yummy A Gluten Free way to enjoy life's pleasant delights
You would think by now we would have gone into strawberry overload, but no, that is not the case. We just cannot seem to get enough strawberries!! Every time I go to the Farmers’ Market and see that beautiful basket of luscious strawberries, SMELL that heavenly fragrance that only strawberries have, and see the price has been reduced??!!
Stand back, those babies are going home with me!! I have made several fruit salsas, strawberry smoothies, strawberry shortcake, ate strawberries and vanilla pudding and now I have found the perfect Gluten Free Strawberry Pound Cake recipe. People, this cake is so moist, buttery and oozing with strawberry sweetness. I want to share with you just HOW good this strawberry cake is or was.
I have to confess, I was setting up the shot for the pics I put with the recipe and forgot my four legged niece, Lily, was in the house (I have been dog sitting). Well I was setting up for an overhead shot, had the cake on a wooden stand about 18 inches (and nose level for Lily) high and had gone to get my tripod and other props. My mom was at my house helping with some prep work and I hear ‘Oh my God’. Yep, Lily. She really, REALLY likes strawberry cake. If any of you have dogs you know they all have certain looks, well when I removed the cake the look on Lily’s face was “What, you mean that wasn’t for me?” That’s when the laughter started!
All the camera equipment and props were put away. Thank heaven it was another price reduction day at the market and we had plenty of strawberries. Actually, Lily did us a favor: the second cake was way better than the first. Yes, we had done a taste test prior to Lily’s feasting. (Insider secret, we always test the recipe before the picture is made so we know if it is good enough to share with you. We just make sure our bites are from the underside of cake so it won’t show up in the pic!)
Friends if you have never made a strawberry pound cake, or if you have baked one in the past, this is one great tasting cake. I can guarantee it will not last long, whether you are sharing with two or four legged sweet lovers!!
