I subscribe to Lagniappe, the free email newsletter of Louisiana Cookin’ magazine. It’s published each Friday, and typically contains 3 Louisiana-centric recipes. Friday’s newsletter contained this recipe, and I knew I had to make it, even though I had already written today’s post. But, as strawberries are in season, I decided to share this recipe with you all.
The flavor is lovely, although the texture was a little moist. No one seemed to mind, however, and the cake was the perfect ending to a delicious grilled meal on the patio. I think it would be perfect for a Memorial day cookout, as it’s quick to whip up and if you’re like me, I find it quite nice to have something on my menu that takes little thought and prep. Be sure to save room for dessert when you make this delicious cake…
