I love strawberries, among raspberries are my favorite berries by far .
When we, on Sunday, stopped by the market, the first thing I saw, in the produce section, were strawberries.
Although were still pricey, I can't resisted because winter strawberries are more firmer and slightly most acid than summer. Which l love

And on Monday started my day with a bowl of strawberries with cinnamon muesli
As left some strawberries and I my favorite cake is carrot cake I thought the combination with whipped cream and strawberries were perfect.
The day was very cold and be near the oven will not be a bad idea. So I started to bake and I was happy 'cos besides making something good, warm my body.
Well, here's the result I hope you enjoy and have a good weekend.

It's hard to imagine it being so cold you want to be near an oven. We are having a heatwave here in the Northeast US. I love the idea of strawberries and whipped cream with this cake; it really lightens it up!
Such a magical little cake. Sylvia, you even make a dirty bowl look like a work of art.
