The strawberry paradise cake, is very easy to make, very fragrant, and ideal during the period when strawberries start to become ripe.
It’s a cake that always invites tasting, both after meals and as a snack, encouraging everyone to try it and make it again because it’s so good.
You can prepare the base, the cake, even the day before and fill it later, so the strawberries will be fresh and won’t release their juice into the cream.
We made the strawberry paradise cake in a rectangular base to then cut into cubes, but you can easily make it in a round mold to cut into slices and serve like a regular cake.
This cake is characterized by being so moist that it melts in your mouth, it does not need soaking like others, for example the Sponge Cake.
