Summer is coming to a close, and with it the garden parties, barbecues, open air festivals, and, above all, the tastiest fruits of the season: fresh strawberries. So to take advantage of the final days of the hit ingredient, what could be better than a delicious cake that skillfully combines strawberries with fresh cream and even conceals a fruity surprise in the middle? This creamy strawberry cream cake has it all and is even easy to make, so hop to it.<br /><br />You'll Need:<br /><br />For the cake:<br /><br />- 8¾ oz soft butter<br />- 7 oz sugar<br />- pinch of salt<br />- 1 tsp vanilla extract<br />- 4 eggs<br />- 3 oz flour<br />- 2½ oz cocoa powder<br />- 4½ oz corn starch<br />- 1 tsp baking powder<br /><br />For the cream cheese mousse:<br /><br />- 8¾ oz cream cheese<br />- 1¾ oz sugar<br />- 7 fl oz cream<br />- 3 gelatin sheets<br />- orange zest<br /><br />You'll also need:<br /><br />- 15 strawberries<br /><br />Here's How:<br /><br />1. Cream the butter, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and eggs together until frothy. Gradually mix in the flour, cocoa powder, corn starch, and baking powder and stir everything until creamy.<br /><br />2. Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan and bake at 320°F for about 45 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool before cutting out a rectangular section about 1 inch in from the edge of the pan.<br /><br />3. Carefully smooth the hollowed-out section inside the cake to make room for the filling. Then place 5 big strawberries in the middle of the cavity.<br /><br />4. To make the filling, mix the cream cheese, sugar, orange zest, and 5 fl oz of the cream until frothy. Then heat the other 2 fl oz of cream and dissolve the gelatin in it. Add this mixture to the rest of the cream. Stir the whole thing once more and then pour the cream into the hollowed-out section of the cake.<br /><br />5. Refrigerate the cake for 2 hours and allow the filling to set. Finally, garnish the cake with the remaining strawberries and some of the cake crumbs from the hollowed-out section.<br /><br />6. And for the real cherry on top of the sundae: add a few mint leaves to the top of the cake.<br /><br />What a feast for all the senses, because this perfect party dessert tastes just as grandiose as it looks. Talk about two for the price of one!
