When Strawberry Comes in Surplus, Make This Strawberry Cream Cake

It has been a bumper year in terms of Strawberry harvest. Fruit stalls are booming with fresh and luscious Strawberry crop. Then why not bring together an easy and delicious, yet a showstopper dessert of Strawberry Cake. 

When I got going with this recipe, I went around looking for different types of Strawberry Cream Cake recipes. Then I stumbled upon Bløtkake, a Norwegian or Scandinavian layered cake with alternate layers of Victorian Sponge, Custard, fruit jam filling, whipped cream and chopped fruits.

This Strawberry Bløtkake is an elegant cake, fit for grand celebrations. It soaks in the moisture and juices from the strawberry filling and gives a moist and fragrant cake.

Already Strawberry tops the list of my favorite fruits. Add a dollop of freshly whipped cream, and I am all set to go into a food coma! This cake is the perfect example of how simply one can pull together a fancy looking dessert for weekend parties. 

This Strawberry & Cream Cake was my way of giving the plain-jane Vanilla Cake a glamorous makeover. All I did was grab a box of Strawberries and make a delicious coulis with it. Once I got going with the macerated strawberries to make the coulis, all that left to do was whip some fresh cream and start decorating my cake.
