Strawberry cake

I am very glad to add this post :) I don't believe its my 100th post in my blog!! For this 100th post I thought that I should prepare something special which is very new in my blog and memorable one. As I never posted any cake recipes yet in my blog so thought of preparing a cake. And I would like to dedicate this post to my beloved husband :)
I wouldn't have started this blog without my husband's encouragement and guidance. This post is for you my love :)

Ingredients:
All purpose flour - 1 1/4 cups
Baking powder - 1.5 spoon
Sugar - 1.5 cup
Eggs - 5 large eggs (2 whole and 3 separated)
Unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly - 6 spoons
Strawberries (washed,dried and stemmed) - 500 gms
Water - 2 spoons
Vanilla extract - 3 spoons
15-20 washed, dried, and stemmed
Whipping cream - 2 cups
Salt

Procedure:
Take a large bowl add flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk in 2 whole eggs and 3 yolks (reserving whites), butter, water, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
Beat remaining 3 egg whites and slowly add 3 tablespoons of sugar, beat until soft peaks form.

Now slowly add the above mixture to the cake batter until no white streaks remain.
Preheat the oven for 250 degrees for 15mins.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean, 20 - 30minutes.
Once cake is done remove from oven and allow it to cool.

Take the whipping cream in mixy jar add little sugar, vanilla extract and whip until nice cream is formed.
Remove from jar and refrigerate it for 10-15 mins.
Now keep 10-15 berries aside.
Heat a pan and the remaining berries into the pan. Cook until they are soft and later add 2-3 spoons of sugar depending in the sweetness of berries.
Once the berries become too soft remove from heat and allow it for cooling.
Cut the cake into two thin slices. Keep one slice on the plate.
Now cut the strawberries into half. Arrange the strawberries around the edges of the cake.
Add the strawberry mixture in the center.

On top of the this mixture add the whipped cream and place the second slice of the cake.
And arrange in the same way as instructed above.
Once the icing is done refrigerate for 20-30 mins and then serve it.

For you :D
