Strawberries and Cream Cake

Strawberries are my fav fruit and what better way to eat strawberries than having it with whipped cream . This is a simple vanilla cake with a strawberry filling and whipped cream frosting with even more fresh strawberries. It is very fresh, light and not overly sweet ,  just a perfect dessert for the summer so here goes.......................



INGREDIENTS

1 recipe vanilla cake

for the filling 

1 cup strawberries frozen or fresh
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

for the frosting

1 cup liquid whipping cream
100 gms cream cheese
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
Fresh strawberries for decoration

METHOD

Grease and line two 8 inch sandwich cake tins .
Bake the cake in a preheated 180 c oven for 15-20 min.
In a saucepan , add the strawberries and heat it till the strawberries start to break , then add the condensed milk and mix it all up till it becomes a paste and turn off the heat .
Cool this mix a bit and add it onto one layer of cake .
Chill it in the fridge for a half hour.
Meanwhile make the frosting , add all the ingredients for the frosting in a large bowl and whip it till stiff .
Now add a little frosting  on top of the strawberry sauce and add the next layer of cake .
Now frost the entire cake with the whipped cream frosting and the fresh strawberries .
Chill the cake for an hour and enjoy .
