Don’t you love it when you think something is going to turn out bad, but turns out fine…if not better!  That’s exactly what happened with this cake.  I started out making this into bars, however once I put together the ingredients and realized I was out of brown sugar, I knew it wasn’t going to turn out the way I wanted.  However, I continued on and actually am very happy with the way it turned out!  I don’t want to call it a bar because once I cut into it and took a bite, it started to crumble!  Now it’s a Strawberry Crumble that you should eat on a plate instead of your hands 😉  It’s easy to prepare and it turned out delicious!
