Notes:
I used an 8x8” square pan, but you can probably pipe them into traditional lady finger shapes. In hindsight, I could’ve used a round pan. The cake will harden up a bit as it cools to enable espresso soakage. This was a super fresh strawberry flavor and rich cake. Very tasty and welcomes spring!
