STRAWBERRY LEMONADE CAKE

Image
  STRAWBERRY LEMONADE CAKE Strawberry Lemonade Cake is a cake made of strawberries and lemonade. Lemon juice, lemon zest, and new strawberries brighten this tender layer cake recipe, which is frosted with a tangy sweet fresh strawberry buttercream frosting. I posted my delicious Lemon Blueberry Cake last summer, and although it’s always been a success in our kitchen, it soon became a reader favorite as well. So many of you have used it and given reviews. Thank you so much! One of the most often asked questions regarding this recipe is about substituting strawberries for the blueberries, as in, can I replace the blueberries with strawberries? Although I appreciate the need for a lemon and strawberry combination, the fact is that replacing these berries is not as simple as it seems. So, after our strawberry-picking excursion, I wanted to create a strawberry lemon blueberry cake! THE CAKE INGREDIENTS: 460 grams.Of cake flour. 400 grams.Of granulated sugar. 1 Large spoon.Of baking powd...

Cream Potato Soup

Image
  Cream Potato Soup Growing up, we had a lot of potato soup. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my grandparents were potato farmers and it was passed down to them. My mom probably made it twice a month and now it’s the same for me, especially during the winter months. You’ll love the fact that it’s a dish that the whole family agrees on, and even looks forward to when told that this is what’s coming up for dinner. It’s also a very practical recipe. Most of the ingredients are staples that you can have on hand and won’t spoil quickly. The potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions will keep well for weeks (and if you opt for bacon, it keeps very well in the freezer). This easy potato soup recipe is one I would consider worthy of your cookbook! It’s an ultra comforting and cozy dish that you’ll use again and again. Plus, it makes great leftovers for lunch the next day if you have any left over. Ingredients 6 cups peeled and diced russet potatoes (about 5 medium potatoes, cut ...
