With a creamy light strawberry mascarpone filling , sponge cake and luscious fresh Strawberries this Strawberries and Cream Cake is a great summertime treat
With Strawberries everywhere in the markets I thought what would be better for this weeks Around the Kitchen Table then a Strawberries and Cream Cake loaded with fresh local berries and a creamy light filling!
It proved to be a great idea as the combination of the Strawberry Cream, fresh strawberries and sponge cake delivered a light not too sweet delightful cake!
I’m just happy I have such wonderful neighbors, because I would have been forced to eat the whole cake……..sigh
If you’re not up to splitting the layers or just want to use less cream, or just whipped cream, feel free to adapt the recipe and have fun with this wonderfully delicious cake! I think next time I might try it with blackberries.

Just found your blog and it’s quite appetizing!! I’m going to try this Strawberry Cream Cake for Easter. My question is how does the Mascarporne Cream holdup? Can the cake be made and held in refrigerator overnight? How long will it holdup out of refrigerator before serving? Thanks for a great site.

hi Karen
it does hold up very well, its just like cream cheese without the tartness. There is also gelatin in the mixture that helps keep things firm. As long as its not hot where you’re holding the cake it should hold up well outside of the refrigerator, just keep an eye on it.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get to check out more of my recipes. My Tiramisu is legendary!
