Strawberry and Cream Cake

Fresh strawberries, lashings and lashings of cream and vanilla cake – you really can’t go wrong with this combination.

This is a delicious, comforting and classic cake that’s surprisingly easy to make for all it’s good looks. For maximum impact, be generous with the cream and the strawberries (reserving the most perfect berries for decorating the top of the cake).

I think it’s because this Strawberry and Cream Cake is a classic cake that it is such a crowd-pleaser too. It’s an absolutely perfect special occasion or birthday cake.

But eat up – with all that gorgeous fresh cream this cake won’t keep too long.

This delightfully old-fashioned Strawberry and Cream Cake is baked with love by Sea Salt with Food.
