strawberry& blueberry icebox cake
Today's recipe is perfect for the summer , specially for the fourth of July . It is very refreshing and not too sweet. It solves the craving or need for cake without doing any baking at all :) .It is also lower in sugar than a regular cake. Relying more on the sweetness of the fruit. As always I hope you give this a try and share it with loved ones ;)
