I have been running like a crazy person this week. I had myself scheduled pretty lightly so that I could work on some projects that need my attention, but like life is prone to do, it threw me a few curveballs.
When I was younger and my life would take a tailspin and everything seemed to be pilling on top of me and nothing seemed to go my way, I would really struggle to keep myself together. I am happy to say that I have really gotten better at keeping things in prospective and not letting things send me into a tailspin. I tell myself and I listen, if I can’t control something, let it go and move on to the things that I can control and change.
I wish I could go back to my younger self and help her to understand this philosophy.
Not only do I tell myself to take a chill pill and focus on what is important, I bake. Yep, bake. For some reason baking really is a great way for me to relax. So the plus side for all those around me, when I am is stressed, they get baked goods.
That is how this delicious, sweet little cake was born. I was thinking about the 4th of July and was really craving something that was sweet and fresh in flavor. Using fresh seasonal berries and white chocolate chips gives you the red white and blue colors for a perfect summer holiday dessert. Great to bring to your 4th of July picnic.

I bake when I am stressed too. Sometimes you just want to focus on one thing and have that immediate result of a goodie at the end. Love that you ended up with this yummy cake. Hope the rest of your week turned around and you did get to those projects. Have a wonderful weekend.
I think your right Katie, baking is consistent and exact and you get those goodies when you are done. Have a great holiday!

Thanks Emily!
I hate that things have been stressful for you recently… except I love that this cake came out of the stress. Like you, I’m a stress baker. There’s something so soothing about mixing the ingredients together and watching them rise in the oven. And then when you make something like this cake? Swoon.
Thank you Erin. I think baking is soothing because you get to use all your senses to create something that tastes delicious.
I am all about the berries right now and this cake looks like the perfect thing for breakfast!
Oh I like the way you think Heather. A slice with coffee in the morning would be perfect.
What a great recipe to use up some summer berries! This looks like such a delicious cake!

Getting older definitely brings wisdom about what is important enough to freak out about! Getting into the kitchen is a great relaxer for me, too. And now I have a urge to get in there and make this beautiful cake.
I hope you enjoy the cake it is great fun to make and a great way to celebrate the 4th.
