But honestly I have already bought a lot of fresh strawberries even earlier, so I could bake delicious strawberry cakes and fruity desserts or just to enjoy them as they are. Anyway, as you may have already noticed, I am a huge strawberry fan and when I see them in the store, I just have to buy them, they’re impossible for me to resist! Strawberry Cream Naked Cake with Baileys Strawberries & Cream Once your vanilla cake layers and strawberry compote are completely cooled, cut each cake horizontally into two even layers. Place one cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread 1/4 of the cream over the cake. Then spread 1/3 of the strawberry jam over. Now put the next cake layer on top and repeat this step for the second and third cake layer. After placing the fourth layer on top, spread the remaining cream on top of the layer cake and lightly on the sides to create a naked cake. I stirred a sip of Baileys Strawberry Cream and a pinch of gelatine powder to a small portion of the remaining cream and then spread it lightly on the sides. However, this is just an optional step to create those pink marble effects on the sides. Fresh Strawberry Cream Cake in a Naked Cake look

The new Baileys Strawberries & Cream is a delicious combination of ripe strawberries, vanilla, a touch of white chocolate and the Baileys Original Irish Cream, which goes together perfectly with a delicious strawberry cake! Incidentally, I also think that this Baileys is also good as an additional ingredient in pancakes, waffles or in my other strawberry cakes. So if you want to add a special shot into your usual batter, maybe that would be a great idea! 😃 Simple vanilla cake from scratch – freshly baked and homemade is the best!

So of course, here is another new strawberry recipe for you today. But this time it’s not a vegan strawberry cake again, because there are already some of them on my blog, this one is for my non-vegan followers. In the meantime, I have already received a lot of messages asking if I only bake vegan now. And honestly, I’ve been baking almost all my recent recipes without eggs and no dairy products either lately. Anyway, when the company „Baileys“ asked me if I would like to create a delicious cake recipe using the new Baileys Strawberries & Cream, I thought that this would be a suitable opportunity. And as a big strawberry lover, I can tell you that this combo tastes amazing! Strawberries, vanilla and white chocolate – the perfect combination!

Finally, you can decorate your strawberry cake however you want. I used fresh strawberries and flowers to decorate my layer cake, but, of course, you can get as creative as you wish!

Unfortunately, strawberries are not in season all year round, and also the Baileys Strawberries & Cream is limited to this year’s strawberry season. Anyway, there are also other fruits and other Bailey’s varieties, so you can bake this cake anytime! You can also make the jam with frozen strawberries or substitute other seasonal fruit. If you choose frozen berries, make sure to cook them a little longer (about 6-8 minutes) because of their thawing liquid. Alternatively, you can also use any store-bought berry jam. To make it more spreadable, you can simply warm it up a bit. How to make a Naked Cake – Strawberry Layer Cake
