Cake with cream and strawberries …very delicious and generously filled!!
I really like strawberries and in this period besides enjoying them simply with sugar and lemon, I prepare desserts as if there were no tomorrow!!!!!!
Strawberries and pastry cream fill a fruit cake base scented with vanilla making a beautiful combination for a cake suitable even for celebrating a birthday but it’s exquisite also as a simple dessert or a very delicious snack…
I also suggest other recipes with strawberry cakes like:

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE CAKE RECIPE WITH CREAM AND STRAWBERRIES
To prepare the soft fruit cake, whisk whole eggs with sugar for a long time… at least 15 minutes!
They will become a light, foamy mass that, when lifted with a spoon, will fall in ribbons on the whole mixture!
Add the seeds of the VANILLA bean and the sifted flour.
Mix always from bottom to top, then pour the batter into the chosen mold, greased and floured.
Now just bake in a preheated oven at 347°F for about 50 minutes, but as always, the toothpick test will be the final test.
Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
To prepare the filling for the fruit cake with sponge cake, slightly beat the yolks with sugar, then add the FLOUR and starch sifted together.
Pour in the milk while stirring, taking care not to form lumps.
Let it thicken in a saucepan placed over moderate heat, flavoring it with grated zest from an organic or untreated lemon.
Let it cool now with cling film in contact.
For the syrup, just let the syrup formed by the written ingredients boil for about 1 minute.
To complete the cake with cream and fruit, cut the base into 3 parts, soak them with the syrup, and fill them with part of the cream and thin slices of strawberries, washed and patted dry with paper towels.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and a few whole strawberries…
Bon appétit!

P.S. But could I have made a more desperate cut than the one in the second photo?
