RECIPE
Strawberry Snack Cake
The kids have been tracked out , so lots of baking has been happening before and after vacation. In case you don’t know what track out, it means our kids go to year round school. They go to school for 9 weeks, off for 3-4 weeks. So they are in the middle of their last track out for the school year. One day I bake with each of the kids. JJ wanted to bake cupcakes or cake, we finally decided on a snack cake. And I will say he picked a winner to make.
First this cake is really perfect for so many things. Whether it is a summer BBQ, Mother’s Day or you just want something fun in the house for dessert or snack, this cake is just perfect. It is light and sweet, thanks to adding some white chocolate chips. The cake isn’t dense, it is light. The texture to me is just perfect. It is moist and has flavor in every bite. I made it in a 10″ springform pan, but you can use an 9″ pan if you want. It will take a little longer to bake. You can use a square pan.
JJ had some thoughts for this cake, he wanted some type of chocolate. So he decided to add some white chocolate chips. I think this was a great choice, because it didn’t make the cake overly sweet, it added just the right amount of sweetness to the cake. Creaming the butter and sugar at the beginning of this recipe, it really helps the cake to be on the lighter side.
I know you will love this cake as much as we do in our family.
