Strawberry Chocolate cake- Part2

Today we come to the end of this Mega Marathon 🙂 It was really wonderful to be a part of this crazy gang of girls who love their food.

I made this another version of the most awesome cake 🙂 I used puree and shards in the batter and a glaze on top. It was a marriage made in heaven.

This recipe is part of the 30 day Blogging Marathon for this month. Check out other participants here in the Blogging Marathon page.
