PARTY CAKE
Festtårta

A lovely cake filled with strawberries and whipped cream makes a wonderful addition to any party. On the top is a vanilla butter creme and flaked, roasted almonds.

Makes 1 cake in a pan for 10 cups = 12 to 16 pieces

Cake:
6 eggs
1 cup sugar
0.8 cup flour
0.4 cup ground almonds

Filling:
0.8 cup heavy cream
0.8 cup sliced strawberries
2 sliced bananas

Vanilla butter creme:
7 oz butter or margarine
0.4 cup powdered sugar
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons potato starch
2 teaspoons sugar
0.8 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar

Decoration:
powdered sugar
flaked Almonds


Beat eggs and sugar really light and fluffy. Add flour and Almonds and pour the batter in a greased springform pan, capacity 10 cups. Bake in the oven at 350F for about 40 minutes or until the cake is done. Gently loosen it and unmould. Split in 2 layers. Beat the cream until stiff.

Make the butter creme: Stir butter and powdered sugar until really light and fluffy. Mix egg yolk, potato starch, sugar and milk in a saucepan. Let it simmer until it thickens. Beat all the time, the creme must not boil. Remove from heat and beat until cold. Add vanilla sugar. Stir the vanilla creme into the butter mixture, little by little, and stir vigorously all the time. 

Put one cake layer on a round plate, cover with strawberries and bananas and cover those with cream. Put on the other layer, press them together lightly and leave the cake for about 30 minutes.

Spread the vanilla butter creme on top and sift with powdered sugar. Sprinkle with flaked almonds and store cold until serving.

Enjoy!
