Strawberry Pudding Cake - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 18

A summertime favorite. Best while still warm. A tasty way to use a damaged fallen cake smothered in whipped cream. Fresh or frozen strawberries can be used. Wash the strawberries well, and slice into small portions. However, due to the pudding, it doesn't freeze well. Bake and save as cupcakes, which can be crumbled, covered with strawberries, and half of a cook pudding recipe. Strawberry pudding cake tastes best a day or two after it is created. The strawberry juices soak into the cake and leave a trail of pink across the vanilla pudding, topped by cream.
