Vanilla Strawberry Star Cake

A surprising recipe for cutting: the Starred vanilla strawberry cake ! We love its two-tone side and especially its softness! Don't forget the white chocolate icing to add when serving...

How good it is to see the arrival of juicy and colorful fruits! Strawberries are here, and with them the desire for strawberry desserts: mousses, tarts and cakes. So I wanted to integrate the gariguette strawberries within a vanilla flavored cake, a two-taste cake in short.

How to make a star cake?

At first glance, one wonders how I could have achieved this pink strawberry star in the center of the cake. Don't worry, nothing too complicated, just a technique to know...

To simplify things, you need to realize two cakes. The first will be at the strawberry (pink), the second will be at the vanilla (yellow). Once the pink cake is cooked, cut into slices, you will need to get somestar shaped cookie cutter like these and cut out of multiple stars that you will line up in the vanilla cake batter. Child's play, I tell you!

In terms of flavors, we still love vanilla and strawberry, don't we? In any case, I hope that this Starred vanilla strawberry cake will please you as much as it does me.
