Sunday Tea - Strawberry Drizzle Cake

15/7/2014

 
I have a new niece, her name is Alice Poppy and I'm a totally smitten Auntie. This weekend she came round for a visit with her Mum and Dad. It was the perfect excuse to bake a Strawberry Drizzle Cake. There are so many delicious English strawberries available at the moment. 

This is the recipe - Strawberry Drizzle Cake

I've got to say my cake rose a lot, so you couldn't see the pretty strawberries. They were so juicy that it took a long time for the centre to cook through; but it tasted amazing. I'd definitely recommend giving it a go.

It wasn't exactly like a lemon drizzle cake. Next time I think I would juice the strawberries as they describe in the recipe; but then mix it with caster sugar instead of icing sugar. Then pour it over while the cake is still warm. It should give a sharper strawberry taste and the crusty sweet/tangy top that you associate with drizzle cakes. If you do try it that way, let me know how you get on.

The afternoon tea was lovely and I got lots of gorgeous cuddles with Alice, so my cut-metre is full for now. 

How did you spend your Sunday afternoon?

Your cake sounds yummy! I spent my Sunday afternoon visiting some local open studios with one of my friends :)
