A Love for Strawberries
I’ve always loved strawberries. Growing up, we didn’t have a garden, but my mom would buy fresh strawberries from the farmers’ market.
I still remember sneaking a few before they made it into our desserts. There’s just something about biting into a fresh, sweet strawberry that takes me back to my childhood.
Now, while I don’t have my own garden yet, I’ve been lucky to find some amazing strawberries at the store.
They’re perfect for this mug cake. And when strawberry season hits, I can’t wait to try it with fresh-picked berries!
This mug cake is a game-changer for me. It’s my go-to for a quick afternoon snack or when I’m craving something sweet after dinner. It’s like a warm strawberry muffin in a mug, ready in minutes.
