Strawberry Custard Cake - Guide Recipe
When fresh strawberries meet classic Vanilla Magic Custard Cake , these two together make seriously magical dessert!!! Strawberry Custard Cake is really over-the-top!!!
Speaking about magic custard cakes , so far I’ve tried many. First I made classic Vanilla Magic Custard Cake. And that was love at the first bite. So I had to try chocolate version. You might remember my Chocolate Magic Custard Cake. Then I decided to add a little bit of fruity flavor , so I made Easy Banana Magic Cake.
All those magic custard cakes were delicious but this Strawberry Custard Cake goes beyond all of them. When I put it in the oven to bake , I knew immediately that this would become my favorite custard cake ever. And wonderful sweet smell of strawberries and vanilla that spreads through my kitchen swept me of my feet.
