The same day as my bacherlorette party took place, it was my best friend, Marias, birthday. My other best friend Caroline and I had planned a full day for her and I decided that I would bake cakes. I was completely unaware of my bachelorette party and therefore decided that a birthday is not a birthday without cake. But because my friends had decided that it was the day that they would abduct me, the cake layers had to stand alone without filling for a couple of days, one of the first things I said after I met them that day was, "but I have baked cakes". There were no cakes that day, instead I invited my friends over to our place for a late celebration for Maria.
Lemon curd- and mascarpone cake
Simple cake bases
4 eggs
170 g caster sugar
60 g white flour
80 g potato flour
1 tsp baking powder
I made two cake bases in a form that is 15 centimeters in diameter. They were pretty high so I cut them in two parts so that it became a cake with 4 layers.
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C. Begin to whisk the eggs and sugar really puffy. Mix together the dry ingredients and fold gently into the sugar mixture. Bake for about 30 minutes.
Filling:
200 g strawberries
100 g cream
100 g lemon curd
1 tbsp muscovado sugar
Mash the strawberries with a fork and add sugar. Spread a layer on one of the cake bases.
Whip the cream and fold the lemon curd in to it. Spread a layer on one of the cake bases. Layer the cake layers with the different fillings.
