This strawberry brunch cake is made with fresh strawberries and cooked until the top is golden brown. Pair it with some ice cream and it’s a truly simple treat.
Surprisingly the delicious blackberry filling used in these cookies isn’t from fresh blackberries, but from blackberry jam instead! Although, if you wanted to use fresh fruit, I’m certain that it would turn out amazing.
