Fresh Strawberry Cake with Meyer Lemon Glaze

I absolutely LOVE Strawberry season! I love making smoothies, strawberry shortcakes, or even just eating them on their own.

This year, I wanted to try making a new dessert. As I was searching through Pinterest, I happened to come across this tasty looking cake recipe by The Spicy Perspective. I figured this would be the perfect dessert to make while my mom was visiting.

This is super easy to make. The cake is super moist and had so much flavor. I dusted the cake with powdered sugar, but I also made a Meyer Lemon Glaze on the side for anyone that wanted it on their own each individual slice. I definitely loved it with the Meyer Lemon glaze.

Allow to cool at least 20 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Once cooled whisk together the remaining 3 TBSP lemon juice and the powdered sugar. Drizzle over the cake.

Tip #1: If you aren’t an icing fan, just sprinkle cake with powdered sugar as another topping alternative!

Tip #2: The batter might be really thick, but that is okay! The cake will be super moist and so much flavor!

Tip #3: Don’t have Meyer Lemons? You can easily use regular lemons.

Tip #4: You can store this cake at room temperature in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap.
