I made this cake for my colleagues to celebrate my birthday at work. All of my colleagues go and buy a pie but of course, I wanted to make my own. They were really surprised haha, but they also really liked it.
For this cake I first made quite some strawberry jam, which is just boiling some strawberries with a little sugar till it becomes thicker and then letting it cool down. I used that jam first for the cake, I made vanilla batter and swirled the jam through it. I baked four 6″ cakes. When they were cooled the cake was quite sticky because of the jam 😅 Then I made the buttercream, I made Swiss meringue buttercream and added some melted white chocolate, I just mean… YUM!!! I stacked the cake by layering; cake, strawberry jam, buttercream and repeat. When the cake was stacked I crumb coated it with the buttercream, and when that was set (in the fridge) I iced it for the last time.
