One thing I think Julia Childs got right, amongst many things, is that you can never have too much butter! I mean seriously, who doesn’t love butter? And butter + cake = bliss! Add some lemon zest whipped cream and fresh cut strawberries and we have a winner winner, dessert for dinner.
And want to know what else? I totally cheated on this one. I used a boxed cake mix. And I don’t even feel bad about it because it meant faster, less clean up, and I got to shove this deliciousness in my face.
