Swedish Summer Cake

This is one of nigella lawson’s recipe. I came across this recipe when I was going through my favourite cookbook, Nigella Kitchen. I fell in love with it instantly and guess what I was in the kitchen the next minute. Since I had all the ingredients on hand, I was able to make it.

I divided the making of the cake in two days. First day, I made the cake and the custard filling. I put the custard filling in fridge and I left the cake at room temp. The next day I whipped up some cream and did the strawberry layer and put together the cake in a matter of minutes. This cake is so tasty you can never resist it.

Eggs - 3 Sugar - 1 ¼ cup / 250 grams (powdered) All Purpose Flour / Maida - 1 cup / 120 grams Warm Water - ⅓ cup / 80 ml Baking Powder - 1 ½ tsp

For Custard Filling:

Milk - 2 cup Readymade Custard Powder - 3 tblspn Sugar - 4 tblspn

Strawberry Layer:

Strawberries - 2 cup chopped roughly +few more for topping Sugar - 3 tblspn

For Whipped Topping:

Whipping Cream / Fresh Cream - 1 cup Sugar - 1 tblspn (Powdered)

The original recipe calls for the homemade custard sauce made with eggs, but I used readymade store bought custard powder to make things less complicated and I don’t want to add extra eggs in the custard as well, since the cake has eggs in them. The sweet custard and strawberries between layers of sponge cakes taste like heaven. This cake is called swedish summer cake which comes from sweden, they do this on summer with the berries which are available in those season.
