STRAWBERRY CAKE

The perfect fruity summer taste! Our mum used to make a similar cake for us, so now we created our own version of it because we just love fresh strawberries in the summer.

7. pour the batter into the cake tin and spread out evenly. bake for about 35mins until the skewer comes out clean.

​

8. let the cake cool a little before you evenly spread a thin layer of marmalade on top. wash the strawberries and cut away their stem. place the strawberries on the cake until the surface is covered. 

​

9. for the jelly follow instructions on packaging. or, mix the powder with the sugar. then add it to 750ml cold water. mix it and then heat it up in a pot and let it boil for a couple of seconds. take it from the heat and let it cool for about 5 mins (it's important that you stir the jelly now and then). pour the jelly onto the cake until the strawberries are covered (make sure it's covered evenly).
