Sponge cake with strawberries and cream – notes
Using the still-available strawberries (although their price this year is truly shocking), I prepared such a simple, yet delicious, summer cake for my family. The base here is a simple, fluffy sponge cake (which you can also replace with ladyfingers if you don’t feel like baking). Added to that is a tasty buttercream with powdered milk and a large amount of fresh strawberries set in a thick layer of strawberry jelly. The cake looks beautiful, and you can prepare it in a large baking tin, so it’s easy to divide into many portions. You must try it!
What ingredients are needed to prepare a powdered milk cake?
To prepare this milk cake, you will need a few basic ingredients, all of which you can find in any large supermarket or even in Biedronka. Below is a shortened list of the products I used and possible substitutes.
- powdered milk – You need full-fat powdered milk here — it cannot be granulated milk!
- butter – Extra butter with 82% fat content will be best; remember to take it out of the fridge about 2 hours earlier so it warms up and softens.
- milk – I use 1.5% UHT milk, but you can also use milk with a different fat content.
- strawberries – Fresh fruit is best; frozen won’t be as tasty, but if you have no choice, you can also use frozen ones, but before placing them on the cake, first thaw them on a sieve so that the excess liquid can drain off.
Can this cake be made with other fruits?
Of course, if you don’t have strawberries or you’re not a fan of them, you can use other currently available fruits. Out of season, you can also use canned fruit — such as peaches. Just match the flavor of the jelly to the fruit.
How to store the milk cream cake?
Due to the jelly and fruit, the cake is best kept in the refrigerator. The butter-based cream will harden after chilling, so take the cake out of the fridge beforehand — about half an hour to an hour before serving — so that the cream warms up and softens. The cake can also sit out for a few hours (as long as it’s not in the heat or direct sunlight).
I hope this milk cream cake with strawberries will find a place on your table as well. I would be very happy if you shared your impressions in the comments under the recipe afterwards.
Ps. By the way, I recommend following my instagram, where you can also find my recipes and easily save them for later.
