Tasty Tuesday

Last week the sweet Susan D posted about fresh strawberries.

She posted about this wonderful recipe from Robin's blog.

Nosey person that I am, I had to go check it out.

It sounded like something I needed to try.

So this past weekend when my family was here for a mini reunion I made this cake! You know me I LOVE CAKE!

This was very rich and yummy!

Got some strawberries you want to use up??
