It’s certainly no secret that I love brown butter, but I’m not sure that I have fully expressed my adoration for the oh-so-simple spin on something so common.

  For reasons I can’t even explain, I had been non-stop craving a light cake with berries and cream for the past couple of weeks. Totally random thing to crave, I know, but nonetheless it wouldn’t let up and I knew I had to act, hah. I found this recipe for a basic sponge cake
