Strawberry & Cream Cake Recipe 🍓#baking #cake #Recipe #strawberry #baketok Ingredients 🧈 For the cake: - 6 eggs - A pinch of salt - 120g granulated sugar - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 50ml warm milk - 180g all-purpose flour, sifted - 50g melted butter, at room temperature For the filling: - Warm milk (for soaking the cake layers) - 200g fresh strawberries - Strawberry jam (smooth or with pieces, depending on your preference) For the cream: - 300g cold heavy cream (at least 30% fat) - 300g cold mascarpone - 60g powdered sugar Instructions 📝 To make the sponge cake, start by whisking the eggs with a pinch of salt in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and add the sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk continuously until the mixture reaches 40°C and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk on high speed (with a hand mixer or stand mixer) until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and triples in volume. Gently fold in the warm milk using a spatula. Gradually sift in the flour in 2 to 3 additions, folding carefully after each to maintain the airiness of the batter. Take a small portion of the batter and mix it with the melted butter until smooth. Then incorporate this mixture back into the main batter, folding gently until fully combined. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease and line a 16cm cake pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan, then remove and invert it to flatten the top if needed. Once fully cooled, slice the cake into three even layers. For the cream, whip the cold heavy cream, cold mascarpone, and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. To assemble, lightly soak each layer with warm milk. Layer the cake by alternating sponge, jam, strawberries and cream, then cover the outside with the remaining cream if you want. Decorate with some fresh strawberries, and refrigerate before serving. Enjoy!
