Fresh strawberries are such a joy to have in the house. Whether you’ve gone picking strawberries yourself -a rare treat these days- or if you bought them from the farmer’s market or grocery store, these colorful berries are almost-universally loved. Ask people what their favorite fruit or candy flavor is and most will probably answer enthusiastically that strawberry is the best. And, if you happen to have an entire pint to make a cake with this French strawberry cake is the perfect summer treat.
This special dessert is not unlike many fruit cakes that are popular all across Europe. Instead of frosting the traditional way to top this dessert is easiest: with just some plain, granulated sugar.
