Raspberry & Meyer Lemon Sponge Cake
Today is the World Cancer day (February 4th). If my Dad was still alive I would have probably made this little cake recipe for him.
Pancreatic Cancer is what took him away from me. He fought so hard to stay alive, but eventually it came back and then he was gone. It was on March 18 years ago. I miss my Dad – every – single – day.
Today, is not only about the ones who have lost their fights, it is about Hope and a Cure for those still flighting and their families still supporting. It is about being Thankful to the Nurses, Doctors, Surgeons, Techs, and those brilliant minds working in Research. Finally, today is also about being ALIVE and living its Life to the fullest as My Friend Jojo kindly reminded me.
I hope you will enjoy to make this recipe for someone you LOVE.
Enjoy & Bon Appetit!
As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.
