This is the kind of cake you want to wake up to on a Sunday morning. You want to slice off a piece and eat it right then and there, still warm, straight out of the pan, picking off chunks with your fingers, crumbs falling all over the place. And it's OK. Pair it with a steaming cup of coffee and you're ready to start your day.
This is the kind of cake that you don't mind eating leftovers of, warmed up slightly, with a huge scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream, melting into the sweet, crunchy crumb. Sharing it makes it even tastier.
This is the kind of cake that you can't wait to make again with every kind of sweet, ripe, summer berry under the sun. Combined with orange, lemon or lime zest, you could have a different taste combination for just about any occasion.

Like the title says, there is no heat to beat. It's been cold and rainy here for the most part of the last 3 weeks. Perfect Fall weather. And I love Fall but not in the Summer!
I'm really not a fan of warm and humid weather, it's just that we'd have at least liked to do some outdoors stuff. Picnics in the park? Too wet. Swimming? Not in this cold weather! Car trips? Well, we've had a few of those, but driving in the rain isn't that fun. At least the lack of warm weather didn't stop me from making refreshing desserts. It's technically still Summer and gosh darn it, I'm making the most of it!
So for Grace's Beat the Heat event I made this Lemon-Lime Frozen Yogurt. To me, nothing says refreshing like lemon or lime and the two together are a perfect match. I found this recipe on Dessert First, via Food Blog Search, and adapted it a little to get what I wanted.
I hope you like lemon-lime Grace! Eating this, it felt a lot more like Summer time, I think I even saw the sun peaking through the clouds for a little while... Just a little while though.
