Strawberry Shortcake Cake
I really really want to bake a yummy strawberry cake whenever i see some fresh juicy red strawberries at the market. I pick those up immediately to bake a cake, but somehow it doesn't happen. Few days back i picked a packet of strawberry for the same reason, but this time i was firm and adament to bake a cake for sure.
The minute i reached home, i browsed on the web and referred some cookbook and decided the i am gonna bake a strawberry shortcake. I came across lot of recipe over the net. But this recipe stood a lot. So i decided to give it a try, i modified the recipe a little and baked this cake.
The cake was a plain vanilla cake, it is so rich and buttery. But the filling really makes this a unique strawberry cake. I whipped some cream, because i love the combo of strawberry with whipped cream. They are the most beautiful combination in the world. I masurated some strawberries to make it juicy and get syrupy, because that is what the cake is gonna be soaked in.
This cake has to be in the fridge, because of the use of fresh strawberries. I think it is best had cold because of the whipped cream. My next plan is to bake a plain strawberry cake which has strawberries added right into the batter. Lets see when it happens. Do you guys have any good recipe for that kind of cake, i would love it hear from you..

Can u make cake with yeast? Mean without baking powder or soda...am allergic to both but love cake :-'(

Hi there! Yes you can. I recommend dry yeast, cause is instantaneous, and the fresh one, needs a previous activation. Regards
