I remembered seeing a cake in the Crabapple Bakery Cupcake Cookbook that I thought was stunning, so I flipped it open and found what it was - a ginger spongecake (it was meant to be filled with apple sauce, but I decided creamandstrawberries was the way to go
Cream butter and sugar together with electric beater till pale andfluffy. i looked up a random recipe for a Victorian spongecake (which is usually filled with jam andcream) and made it
)The base white chocolatecake was delicious on its own. Melt the white chocolate by placing it in a heat proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and stir until just melted
Spoon into cake pan and then press down firmly with your fingers. I know I’m supposed to be setting a good example but I’m oddly weak-willed when it comes to withstanding the beseeching brown eyes of my children
Brush with the syrup from the strawberries on one half of the cake. Whip the creamand icing sugar along with vanilla extract, till you get stiff peaks in the cream
Ice with white chocolate frosting and decorate with fresh strawberries. It's a chocolateand strawberry marble cakewith white chocolate frosting, to be precise
In a microwave safe bowl, add butter, marshmallows, baking chocolateand milk / cream. And having a simple and quick recipe like this one is great for days when I don’t feel like making something elaborate

Slice the cake in half with a long knife and fill with a little of the cream. Garnish with soft fruit and serve the cake preferably cold (store the cake in the fridge)
Place the chocolate broken into pieces and the butter in a bowl and melt in the microwave. Spread with a spatula the cream over the cake, garnish with cinnamon powder and serve the cake preferably cold (store the cake in the fridge)
Also with all that chocolate in there, it sets nice and firm once you put it in the fridge, not solid, but firm and then as you bring the cake to room temp (like you should before serving a mud cake) it just softens beautifully
All because I want to have enjoy my cakewith a comfort degree of warmness and this crème anglaise recipe by Barefoot Contessa is exactly the chocolatecake companion that I'm after
