Madilyn and I went to my mom’s house for a tea party after we had a field trip learning about tea and she had made this AMAZING cake from a recipe by Martha Stewart for her friends Birthday and we got to benefit from it! It was DELICIOUS! SOO good! And my mom, and if you know her you’ll know this is amazing, did NOT change ANYTHING in the recipe!!! So… this is completely and totally not either of our recipes, but you should definitely make it and try it. No kidding…. Seriously.
YUM!
This picture is my mom’s beautiful results and she served it with freshly whipped homemade whipped cream with just heavy whipping cream, sugar and lemon zest…. YUM! For Martha’s full pictures and more details, check out her link: http://www.marthastewart.com/336020/strawberry-cake
