Preparation

Step 1

Cake – Bake a two layer 8″ cake based on the directions and recipe

– heat 1/2 cup sugar in 1/2 cup water until dissolved. Cool before use.

– heat 1/2 cup strawberries, 4 tbsp sugar in 1/4 cup water until the strawberries are mush. Seive and cool before use.

You could just whip the cream with the sugar in an electric mixer.

If you plan to make the cake a day ahead I suggest you stabilize the whipped cream so it holds up better in the fridge.

Place one layer of the cake on a serving platter.

Add a few spoons of the simple syrup or strawberry syrup.

Place the sliced strawberries on top ( you don’t need to be so neat)

Place the second layer of cake on top of the strawberries and cream.

Use the back of a spoon and make deep lines straight or at an angle. Nothing fancy – just take the back of your spoon press into the cream and pull upwards.

Since you have eight strawberries make eight such dollops.

Then place the strawberries on each dollop.

I placed the balance sliced pieces of strawberry in the center too.

Place a tbsp of powder sugar in a sieve and dust the top with powder sugar.
