An addictive strawberry cake recipe

I prepared this strawberry cake recipe 4 times in 4 days. I really fell in love with it. It is delicious, addictive and…super easy to prepare!

If you’re not yet convinced, here you have two more reasons to prepare it: It doesn’t contain sugar or any fat.

I found the recipe in the blog Mon Petit Bistrot. Since then I’ve prepare it for us and to present friends.

The first time I prepared it I liked its aspect so much that I decided to photograph it even before trying it. While shooting the photos, my husband came back from work and ate the first slice you see on the photo :-). Yes, we loved it and the photos are the ones you see in this post.

You need a cake pan with removable sides as this cake is soft, quite creamy.
