Summer cake

Now that the strawberry season has started i thought it was time for a strawberry cake. I grew up in a village that had a few fields with strawberries, so when the summer vacation had started and the village was filled with the sweet smell of strawberries my friends and i couldn't manage to keep away from the sweet berries. But the thing was that in the daytime the fields was filled up with eager strawberry pickers. So we waited until the sun barley had gone under the horizon and run as fast as we could to the fields. Then we sat down in the middle of the field and enjoyed the sweet and juicy berries, and nobody could tell us that stolen berries dint tasted good.  I have a lot of good memories about strawberries so it was not difficult to find inspiration to this cake. The cake is a Vanilla cake filled with New York Cheesecake and fresh strawberries.

A huge cake!!

This cake was for a lot of people and it really became huge.I think it must have been around 8 kg. I didn't have much time to make it but i am kind of happy with the result. It is not so easy to get cream cake as nice and smooth as rolled fondant, but i feel cream cakes is much more tasty. This cake is made of two layers of Vanilla cake and one layer of chocolate cake filled with apricots jam ,vanilla marinaded apricots and a white chocolate cream.

Summer cake

 In Norway we have a cake called The worlds best, if you have ever tasted it you will understand why it is called that. Even when Jamie Oliver got this cake server when he was in Norway he very well understood why it is called the worlds best.

Normally this cake is made with a vanilla cake with meringue and chopped almonds on top, filled with vanilla cream. But since it is summer i decided to make a fresher version of the cake , i used the vanilla cake with meringue but used chopped walnuts instead , i made a citrus mousse inside and some sliced sweet strawberries. A really fresh cake.   

Strawberry cake

The Norwegian strawberry season has just started. I cant Imagen anything better  then sweet Norwegian strawberries, i can say with my hand on my heart that Norwegian strawberries is the best in the world. The not so warm Norwegian summer makes the strawberries incredible sweet and tasty. The berries on this cake is unfortunately not made with Norwegians berries when the first strawberries of the season cost as much as a small car. But the cake is still very tasty it is made of a Crunchy meringue nut cake with homemade vanilla cream and strawberries.
