May 19, 2020 Leave a Comment

Spring is here and so is strawberry season. There are not too many things better than a big, fat, red, juicy, strawberry picked at the peak of the season; except double strawberry shortcake. Not only are there strawberries on top of the cake but also cooked into the cake.

Strawberries on Top, Strawberries Inside

We are in the process of moving and the place we are moving has it’s own strawberry festival each year. People come from all over the state to buy strawberries at this festival. I am blessed to be able to buy fresh strawberries straight from the farm. Strawberry season is pretty short around here, it gets hot very quickly. We need to over-indulge while we have the opportunity Having double strawberry shortcake for breakfast is the best way to do it!

Old Fashioned Warm Milk Cake
