Hello, happy weekend!

The weather is so nice outside that I need to go out and enjoy it!

But this strawberry cake has been too good not to share......  I hope you enjoy it, too!

If you are intrigued by the colour of the topping, it's made from white wine, sugar and apple pectin..

plenty of chlorophyll

On sunny days I try to do it like the plants and soak up all the light. I hope the green has the same uplifting effect on you as on me. Have a lovely weekend of Pentecost!
