STRAWBERRY RAINBOW for Vegan Rainbow Contest ๐โค๐
Hello Mu Dearest Foodies,
This is my entry for this week contest initiated by the super delicious recipes creators @deliciousplants.
I made this yummy cake for my daughter's birthday last year. It is a very long recipe, but let me tell you, it's worth it. I believe every birthday cake should take some time, love and effort. That's what makes it even more special. Not to forget, it is totally guilt free and so healthy and nutritious that you can eat it for breakfast. Well see for yourself and let me know what you think ๐โค๐
