    Strawberry almond blondies - easy-to-make cake bars perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert.

    Strawberry almond cake bars

    I can't believe the summer is actually over. It seems like just yesterday I started summer baking, enjoying all the fresh berries I could find, and here I am, 3 months later, and I did not even make a dent in the number of recipes I wanted to try when summer started! It's already September, I just got several pounds of fresh apples from the garden, and the Fall is knocking at my door! Well, I don't think I'll stop baking with berries just because it's not summer any more, especially after I've tried these strawberry almond blondies, right out of the oven:

    I've dusted these strawberry almond cake bars with powdered sugar - yum!

    As you can see on the photos, the cake came out beautifully, with a wonderful combination of toasted almond and strawberry flavors. I baked it in a round cake pan, and then sliced it in 12 rectangular bars. After I did that, I realized it could've been easier just to slice it in 12 wedges. I served it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! It's an amazing treat that will bring summer right back into your house!

    My family loved it, and yours will love it too! (that is, of course, if your family loves strawberries, toasted almonds, and vanilla ice cream :))

      How gorgeous Julia! Strawberries and almonds love each other! And I love them. I'm still eating lots of berries! I'm not ready to let them go but I am happy it's pumpkin and apple time.
