Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

If I could, I would eat breakfast for every meal! I would also live in the kitchen and bake all day…as long as I wouldn’t have to wash the dishes! My mom and I actually have a deal that if I bake, she will clean up, granted that she gets the first bite of whatever dessert is in the oven! Last Sunday it rained again, so instead of going for my usual morning workout, I stayed at home and made pancakes for my family, an unexpected treat for them because I never give up my cherished weekend workouts!

Strawberries & Cream Layer Cake

Ever since last year’s Mothers’ Day brunch, my mom has been wanting a”strawberry shortcake” inspired cake…how perfect for the 4th of July! (Add blueberries for some extra patriotism!) I was actually pretty hesitant to make this recipe because I usually don’t like mixing fruit and cake, but this cake surpassed my expectations!!! The whipped cream and the vanilla sponge cake–soo light and airy!– really enhanced the cake and made it taste even more delicious! (if that’s even possible!) This “strawberry shortcake-esque” creation is the perfect summer dessert! Enjoy!!!

Recipe: strawberry cream cake

***NOTE: My concoction: I didn’t want a cream cheese frosting, so I just whipped heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to use as the filling. (You can use whipped cream/cool whip)
