- Serves 12
i 'invented' this cake to celebrate the coming of spring - and to brighten up the day of my son (he had surgery), his wife and baby-son. i was told it was good :-)
Ingredients
- either buy a ready-made three-layered spong cake (I did) or bake your own sponge cake in a 10" spring form shopping list
- cut it twice horizontally to obtain three layers shopping list
- 2 baskets of strawberries (two pounds) shopping list
- 2 tablespoonsGrand Marnier, about shopping list
- 1 tub mascarpone shopping list
- 1 tub whipping cream shopping list
- 2 TBSP. whole milk shopping list
- 1 package whipping cream stabilizer shopping list
- 1 can cream of coconut shopping list
- 2 TBSP confectioners sugar, approx. shopping list
- 1 package Raffaelos, chilled shopping list
- for decoration, shopping list
- 12 of the prettiest strawberries shopping list
- or chocolate leaves shopping list
- some fresh green pepper corns (i get them out of the glass) - VERY optional :-) shopping list
How to make it
- sprinkle bottom layer withorange liqueur, i used Grand Marnier
- beat mascarpone with milk,sugar, the whipping cream and the cream of coconut, the wh.cream stabilizer
- spread on bottom layer
- put strawberries (halved if VERY large) on perimeter,
- then add one 'circle'of halved Raffaelos
- (that is SOME job, believe me, but it is easier when Raffaelos are well chilled),
- add another 'circle' of strawberries,
- then some more Raffaelos if there is room
- cover with another layer of sponge cake
- sprinkle this layer with Grand Marnier,
- proceed as before,
- put on the third layer, covering it with the cream,
- then cover the sides of the cake with the cream mixture as well
- now decorate with the whole strawberries,
- chocolate leaves and,
- if you like (I did)
- make a short make-believe stem with the green peppercorns.
- cool and fridge for about wo hours before serving
- i was told it was some flavour-experience to have the strawberries and cream and one pepeprcorn in the mouth!
- you may want to hide some of the green pepper in one of the layers - SURPRISE!
