Strawberry Almond Cake



My sister graduated a couple of weeks ago, congratulations Maria!!
I couldn't go to her graduation party in Helsinki because I just moved to a new city here in Italy and started a new job.. 
But fortunately she came here to meet me together with our parents. Obviously I wanted to make a cake for her to celebrate <3


STRAWBERRY ALMOND CAKE


Base:

2 eggs 
125 g (1,5dl) sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
130 g (2dl) white flour
70 g (1dl) almond flour
50 ml milk
50 g melted butter

Frosting:

300 ml whipped cream
100 g strawberry flavoured pink icing sugar

+ pink confetti
+ fresh strawberries

Prepare a baking tin spreading some butter on it. 
Whisk the eggs with sugar until the foam is white and fluffy. In another bowl mix baking powder, vanilla sugar, white flour and almond flour. 
Start adding them in the first bowl, then add milk and melted butter, mixing carefully. Pour the mix in the baking tin and bake in the middle of the oven in 200 C for 15-20 minutes. Let the cake cool and place it upside down on a serving plate. 
For the topping whip the cream until its hard and add the icing sugar. If you can't find the pink one, you can also add some red colouring extract. 
Add the topping all over the cake and decorate with strawberries and confetti.
Place in the fridge for a while and serve.
