Raw Strawberry Cake

The strawberry season starts in the spring and ends usually before summer, when the average daily temperatures do not fall below 30 degrees. This year’s unfavorable weather conditions affected the strawberry season poorly, so the offer was scarce and limited – the price remained high, mostly over 250 dinars per kilogram, while the fruit lost its sweet taste and size. As a result, many people decided to wait for the strawberries to become red, tasty and cheap, the way they should be. Now, finally when sunny, clear days are upon us, it is anticipated that in the next few days strawberries will become extremely delicious and red again! But, watch out, these couple of days will go by faster than we think. Therefore, we suggest purchasing a few kilos of ripe strawberries at the market, with a discount on quantity, freeze them, and enjoy this wonderful berry all year long! And if you run out?
