Simple Strawberry Cake

, , ,

I wanted to make a simple strawberry cake without a lot of frills, but with lots of strawberries. And this is what I got.

This is a very simple, quick and refreshing strawberry cake.

Now in the strawberry season you just have to eat them.

I soaked the sponge cake with our homemade Elderflower Syrup.
