Birthday cake,


Day before yesterday I had a big baking day. I needed to bake some cakes for my husbands birthday yesterday. It feels so good to bake, when I know, that there is someone who will eat it. I wanted to make an easy cake and something, what is not very sweet, since I do not like very sweet things and in the same time, I wanted that it would look and taste as home made.

Ingredients:

3 egg
4,5 dl flour
3 dl sugar
188 gr butter, room temperature
3 teaspoon vanilla sugar
2,5 teaspoon baking powder
1,5 dl milk
1,5 teaspoon salt
4 peach halves

Topping and filling:

500 gr quark
4 dl whip cream 
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar 

Decorations:
400 gr blueberries - share as decorations and in the middle of the cake as well.
250 gr strawberries

Whip butter and sugar together with to a smooth mass. Add egg one by one. Mix all dry ingredients together and add to egg and butter mix. Mix it and add milk. Chop peaches to small bites and add it to the dough. Mix it until it is smooth dough. Pour the dough to the form and bake 40-70 minutes in 175 degrees. Depends how big baking form you have and how much dough you put to the baking form. Take it out and let it cool down. Take it out from the form and put it to the plate.

Whip up cream. When it is hard, mix it with quark and vanilla sugar. Divide sponge half in the middle. Half a quark mix put in the middle of the cake. Cover it with blueberries and add other half of cake sponge. Cover with rest of the quark and whip cream mix. Slice a strawberries. Decorate cake as you want. For me, it was just that I wanted it to see out a homemade and that it has a good taste. For me, it remembered cake what it is home made and what is similar, we have had during a years. I did not decorate as proff, but the taste is more important this time, when looks this time.

Bon Appetit!
