Strawberry Peach Lemon Cake
Hi Friends! I made two versions of fruit with lemon cake loaf. I just thought I would share them in a very brief photo-filled post. I can tell you that the hardest, most painful part of this dessert is when you have finished and there is no more. 😢
Let's get started, shall we?
Buy or bake a Lemon Cake Loaf. Easy. You can find a box version (Obvi, because I am not a from-scratch baker, as we all know) at any grocery store in the baking aisle. Bake it and set it aside to cool. If you have a recipe to make it from scratch, more power to you and I am totally jealous! 😅
Slice up a cup of strawberries per person and place them in a bowl.
Either buy fresh peaches or pop open a can, drain the can and place the peaches in the bowl with the strawberries. Squeeze a little lemon juice atop the fruit and add two tablespoons of sugar. Stir with a spatula and set inside the frig.
When the loaf lemon cake has cooled, slice it into half-inch or thicker slices. Lay it on a plate.
*** Here's the fun part! I found that I had run out of powdered sugar, but I did have white icing leftover from Christmas cookies. So, I melted it and drizzled it over the loaf cake slices. I topped it with the fruits, sprinkled some lemony thyme atop it and scarfed it all down. It was delicious and did not cost a fortune for a freezing winter's night.
Where I live in North Carolina, we had gotten snow which froze mid-thaw to ice for several days, then we had snow again and the temperatures did not get above freezing for about seven or eight days. I did not leave the house in fear of icy roads, so I used what I had on hand and it turned out awesome.
Before I found the can of peaches, I used just strawberries. I have photos of both below. What fun "on-hand" desserts have you made or do you make during stay at home situations?
For the above strawberry version, I added fresh squeezed orange juice to the melted icing. So good!
Thank you, gentle readers, for you visit and know that I am grateful for You! Now, Go Cook (or Bake) For Someone You Love!!! ❤
