This Strawberry Cake recipe really is something special. A perfect, light sponge topped with strawberries with a sprinkling of sugar for added crunch and sweetness. Covering the top of the cake with strawberries means that when the cake bakes and rises, the strawberries separate, creating a beautiful pattern on the top of your cake. We love this Strawberry Cake served with a spoonful of creme fraiche, or even ice cream on a hot summer’s day.

As this is a fruit cake, it lasts much longer than sponge cake, so you can make the cake in advance and keep it in an airtight container for up to a month before decorating. It can also be made to be dairy-free if you need.
