Strawberry Cake

Carlos celebrated his birthday last week and I baked him this special cake. For this cake I used the store bought cake mix as I find some cake mix taste pretty good and make life very much easier. Just follow the instruction on the box with a few extra ingredients and you are good to go. You will have a freshly bake cake in no time.

Ingredients :

1 box of white cake mix
Some fresh strawberry
4 tbsp of strawberry jam
3 tbsp of warm water

For vannila pudding :

400 ml milk
3 tbsp of custard powder
5 tablespoons of sugar
3 eggs
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla

1. Make cake according to the direction on the cake box. Bake until golden brown and let it to cool.
2. Mix eggs with sugar, custard powder with milk. Mix together in a pot. Place over medium heat, mixing all the time and bring to a slow boil. Remove from heat, add in butter and vanilla.
2. Let the custard cool down and pour it over the cake. Let it cool down and decorate the top with fresh strawberry.
3. Warm the strawberry jam with 3 tbsp of water in the microwave for 1 minute and brush it over the strawberries.
4. Serve this cake cold.

Note : I used only 1/2 box of the cake mix as the cake pan I used is very low.
