Summer Weekends & Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake

Weekends are for waking up late and then making almond flour waffles to start out your day.

Weekends are for being at the pool all day.

Weekends are for spending time with my niece and being surrounded by her cuteness all day.

Weekends are for enjoying ice cream.

Weekends are for long and leisurely runs at the park (which felt already too hot at 7am).

Weekends are for baking pound cake.

And then cutting up the cake….

So you can make delicious dessert on a stick.

Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake on a stick!!!

I went to a party and saw these cute strawberry shortcake on the dessert table. I loved it right away. It’s great for potlucks and summer BBQ parties.

I used a box mix to make pound cake in a loaf pan. Once cooled, I sliced them up into cubes and start assembling them like below. I laid them out on a cookie sheet.

I melted dark chocolate chips in the microwave.

Then start drizzling the melted chocolate using a fork.

Transfer to a serving plate once the chocolate have cooled after a few minutes.

You can substitute banana for the cake. I made a few all fruit version and they tasted great with dark chocolate too.
