After months of preparing life and work for a nearly two week vacation, we successfully journeyed to Greece and Italy and back, and the time couldn’t have been sweeter. We fell in love with Greece, renewed our love for Italy, ate fabulous food, walked until we dropped, and spent time with dear friends and family. We’re working through processing our photos, which we’ll share once they’re are available, along with some of the Mediterranean food we’re now experimenting with. One of the first things we made when we got back? This strawberry cornbread cake. Keep reading for the recipe!
Making this strawberry cornbread cake
Despite the reality check of suddenly being at our office desks instead of hiking the Mediterranean coast, it actually feels good to be back: to connect with friends again, sleep in our own beds, and be able to cook for ourselves. Today, we had a kitchen-full of friends to help us cook and stand in as hand models. It’s such a joy to spend time with these people, who make Indianapolis rival the best places in the world. Strawberries are ripe at our farmer’s market now that we’re home, and we’ve created this strawberry cornbread cake to share with you! It’s an adaptation of this rhubarb cornbread from Edible Perspective. We’ve had it several times and it’s become a standout favorite: a dessert that tastes just as good as it is nourishing. This cornbread cake is naturally gluten free, made of cornmeal, oat flour and almond meal. It’s also sweetened only with maple syrup, and it has fresh orange juice to give it some zest. It’s a truly satisfying way to end a summery meal. How to serve this strawberry cornbread cake? Top with some sliced raw strawberries and sweetened whipped cream or coconut whipped cream for a lovely topping. Or, you could serve it as a breakfast with a simple drizzle of maple syrup!
