This Strawberry Cake is the key showstopper of a Midsummer celebration event. The basic version has nothing else but whipped cream and fresh strawberry as filling, but during my time in the Nordic countries, I tasted various versions, and I added my favourite ingredients-options to this recipe to inspire you to try this simple but delicious treat many times and many ways.
Ingredients

- whipped cream / caramel flavoured whipped cream
- strawberries (sliced)
- vanilla custard (optional)
- banana (sliced - optional)
