Strawberry Pound Cake

Triple Layer Coconut Cake
This three layer coconut cake has lemon curd filling and marshmallow frosting on top. It makes a classic, southern style homemade coconut cake.
Strawberry Cream Scones
Strawberries have the annoying habit of dissipating when they bake. Most of the juice bakes away, leaving a blip of strawberry inside muffins and scones.

Lemon Cream Frosting
This easy to follow frosting recipe is very lemony and calls for lemon zest and juice.
