Strawberry Cake

just for Jayce!! She is my awesome friend, and I just want to take this time to say how much I appreciate and treasure our friendship. I am so blessed to have Jayce in my life! :) A month ago, we went through the 40 days prayer book. It was an amazing time, which brought us closer to God. :)

For this cake, I used the basic sponge cake recipe:

(A)

5 egg yolks, 100 gm sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup oil, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 170gm cake flour, 2 tsp baking powder. 

(B)

5 egg whites, 1/2 tsp cream of tartar, 100gm sugar

Method: 

Mix ingredients (A) until smooth. Whisk (B) till smooth and then fold in (A), pour into a 9" round pan. 

Filling: Strawberry preserves, and cream cheese and whipped cream filling. 

For the Cream cheese whipped filling, add 4 ounces of heavy cream and 4 ounces of cream cheese mixture and beat it together.

For the strawberry preserves, add fresh strawberries to the pot, and allow it to boil with juice of a lemon, 1/2 cup of sugar, vanilla essence and corn starch. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAYCE! 

HAVE A GREAT, BLESSED, LOVELY AND AWESOME YEAR AHEAD! :)
