Some cakes are so easy, even a three year old could make them.
Here’s Miss Jay’s own invention – strawberries and cream cake, with a little help from me!
Strawberry and vanilla cream cake (so easy, a preschooler made it!)
Ingredients
For the sponge
- 200 g margarine
- 200 g sugar
- 3 eggs free range
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp whole milk
- 200 g self raising flour
For the filling/topping
- 600 ml double cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp icing sugar rounded (plus more to dust)
- 600 g strawberries
Instructions
To make the sponge
Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan).In a bowl, beat the sugar and margarine together until pale.
Add the eggs, vanilla and milk and beat again
Fold in the flour.
Grease and line two sandwich tins and divide the mix evenly between them.
Bake for 25 minutes until golden, leave to cool in their tins until safe to touch, then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the filling/topping
Beat the cream to a soft peak.
Gently whisk in the vanilla and icing sugar.
Hull and halve (or quarter if large) the strawberries.
- Put a little cream on the plate (it helps keep the cake from sliding about) then put the first cake half on the plate
- Top with half the cream, then a third of the strawberries
Put the second cake half on top and cover with the remaining cream and all of the strawberries.
Dust liberally with icing sugar to finish.
