This week we celebrated our boys’ first birthday! Everybody loved the cake and it’s super easy to make, so I thought I would share the recipe here.
Cake base
- 125 g butter
- 1 dl sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1,5 dl flour
- 2 ts baking powder
- 1 dl milk
Whip butter and sugar, add egg yolks, flour and baking powder (mixed together) and milk. Place on an oven tray and bake in a pre-heated oven (180 degrees) for 10 minutes.
Meringue
- 2 egg whites
- 1,5 dl sugar
- 1 ts vanilla sugar
Whisk egg whites and add the sugar. Take out the cake base from the oven and pour the meringue on top of the base and put it back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
On top and between
- 2dl whipped cream
- Strawberries
- A couple of mint leaves
Assemble the cake with layers of base topped with whipped cream and strawberries. Done!
