This is the period of strawberries and we all are greedy.
I like them in fruit salads or just sliced and seasoned with sugar, lemon juice and few drops of orange, of course if you want garnish a cake are very decorative.
Luckily I managed to take a picture ... they devoured in an instant!!!
Ingredients
sponge cake (recipe here http://italiangoodness.blogspot.it/2011/10/coconut-and-chocolate-cupcakes.html)
16, 9 fl. oz (500ml) whipping cream
17, 6 oz. (500g) strawberries
pastry cream (recipe here http://italiangoodness.blogspot.it/2011/10/crema-pasticcera.html)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 orange
1 lemon
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon rum (or rum flavoring)
After thoroughly washed strawberries cut them into 4 (or leave them whole, depending on how you want to decorate your cake) and season with sugar, orange, lemon and rum.
Let them macerated for at least an hour in the fridge.
Strain the juice and set aside.
Divide the sponge cake and wet with the strawberry juice and if you also want some milk.
Pour the cream and cover with the second disc of sponge cake.
Still wet with a few tablespoons of milk or strawberry juice if it is advanced and garnish with whipped cream.
Decorated with strawberries.
