Cakes!




I love cakes so much! especially chocolate and mocha and strawberry!!

here is a recipe for strawberry cake that I use at home:

ingredients:

Dough:

2 cups of all purpose flour
1 cup of melted butter
1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar (to give a caramalized taste!)
1 teaspoon of baking powder
6 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
freshly chopped strawberries

Toppings:

1 tablespoon of custard powder
2 cups of fresh low-fat milk
2 tablespoon of sugar (you can adjust the amount)

Directions

1- first mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
2- in another bowl mix the 6 eggs and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and lemon zest to remove the smell of eggs.
3-mix the melted butter with the eggs and add the liquid ingredient to the dry one and mix together, until the dough is gooey!
4- pour into the pan and preheat oven to 250 F leave for 15 or 20 min, then let the cake out and keep it out to cool off.
5- the topping, in a suate pan pour the milk and add the custard powder and mix well before putting it on the stove, add sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla extract, put it in a medium heat and stir clock-wise direction and keep stirring until its thick then turn off the heat let it cool for a while.
Decorating the cake:
cut the cake in the middle and start spreading the custard, and add strawberry pieces inside, then cover the cake with the other half, pour all the custard on top then decorate the top of the cake the way you like.
