Strawberry and whipped cream cake is a family Italian recipe. It is a fresh and delicious cake. My mom has tradition to make during spring time when you can start to find in the local farm market the best Strawberris. They looks so read perfect and juice, their parfume make everyone eager to eat.

When I was child I was always exating to wach her to make. The whipped cream is always a good frosty for nice decor and the strawberries have a natural form and color that remember many little hearts. She was usually making “Strawberry and whipped cream cake” around Mather’s day so I did the same this year and my son watched me with the same curious eyes I was doing with her.

This dessert required little more time than usually you need to make a cake because here you have to prepare first the basic cake called ” Sponge Cake”. This is the basic Italian cake for many type of chocolate or fruit dessert . It is very simple and soft, the best cooker know to make without baking soda only 3 ingredients flour, eggs and sugar.

The soft sponge cake with strawberries and whipped cream make a perfect combination for a delicious fresh dessert. When you ll discover the test of this cake you can’t miss to make minimal one time every year
