Eggless Fresh Strawberry Shortcake
I just cant get enough of fruits. I have always loved fruits because they are tasty and healthy at the same time. I dont have to think twice about gaining kilos before eating them.
Especially in summer they help you keep hydrated and are a source of essential vitamins to the body keeping you active the entire day. Recently I have been looking at healhty vegetarian options of baking and making desserts.
And so I tried the Fresh Strawberry Shortcake. I love the fact that fruits make your dessert look so colorful and lively and that too in no time and frankly speaking much less effort than any other cake decorating options.
This strawberry cake has been so easy and quick to bake and decorate and it looks lovely to present in a family get together when the cake is to be shared with people of varied age groups. (Oldies at my place have a tendency to become chocolate averse).
With so many options of fruits in the market you can have lots of fun trying new flavours at home. I am going to bring lots of fruit based dished to table this year to go in hand with my health first resolution.
P.S: Its my Birthday month. And I'm still wondering which cake to bake that day. Any suggestions?
