PARTNER POST: We’ve teamed up with Bonne Maman to bring you the best homemade breakfast and brunch recipes to show Mom you care this Mother’s Day and all spring long.
Made with almond flour, lemon juice and sweet strawberry preserves, this easy strawberry skillet cake is perfect for a sweet morning treat or evening dessert.
Today I’ve partnered with Bonne Maman to share a little Mother’s day inspiration Strawberry Breakfast Cake! What mom wouldn’t want their breakfast cake, and eat it too, in bed. A sweet treat for mom this Sunday morning. The nice thing about this recipe is it can also be made with gluten-free flour or whole wheat flour – both turn out lovely. Almond flour gives it a delicious rich density, almost like a torte. Fresh seasonal strawberries are not only pretty, they are sweet and juicy, and full of flavor- but know that other fresh berries will work too. Strawberry preserves are spooned into the middle of the cake before baking. 
What I personally like about these preserves and this brand is they are non- GMO verified and use no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial colorings or flavorings. Simple real ingredients. It tastes like real homemade preserves- and it’s packaged in a very cute french style jar. In case you were wondering Mamam means grandmother, or “granny” in french. Good Granny.
When the cake comes out looking all delicious and golden, sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup.
