Baking is a gift, and even now, there’s still lots of everyday occasions to celebrate! I wanted to show you one of my favorite summer recipes and something that's perfect to share with your friends and family: Strawberry Tiramisu.

4. Gently fold yolk mixture into white mixture w/ spatula til just combined. Fold in flour & cornstarch (don’t deflate the batter).
