Summer Sweet Treats

My most favorite fruit is strawberry and luckily summer is the strawberry season! We bought lots of strawberry and often make strawberry juice for late night snacks during this summer. Last week I'm thinking to make cake with strawberry just to vary the usage of strawberry and I came up with an idea to make butter cake with strawberry and cream as the topping. So I mixed up some recipes to make the cake.

Butter Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
120 gr butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
150 gr granulated sugar
2 eggs
200 gr flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
150 ml milk

Method:

1. Heat oven to 180 degree Celcius
2. Sift the flour and baking powder all together
3. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla extract until soften and white with a mixer
4. Add eggs to the mixture and beat them well
5. Add flour and milk alternately
6. Pour into the muffin mould (3/4 part only to avoid over expansion)
7. Bake for about 30 minutes

Topping Recipe

Ingredients:

1. Heavy cream

2. Powdered sugar

3. Cut strawberries

Method

1. Beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until reach stiff peak
2. With a spoon, put the cream on top of the cake
3. Put the strawberry on top of the cream

Here's the result:

What I love about this cake recipe is it only need 2 eggs, whereas in most cake recipe you need at least 5 eggs. I didn't mention the exact measurement for the topping cream because I only made for 12 cake, so it depends on how much cake do you make.

Happy baking!
