120 g of sugar

40 g of potato starch

250 g of water

the peel of two grated lemons

the juice of one lemon

strawberries and cream for decoration


Preparation:

Start preparing the cake by mixing the eggs and sugar; whisking for a few minutes to create a well blended cream. Then add the oil, the milk, continue to mix and finally gradually, add the sifted flour and the baking powder. Continue mixing  until you start to see the air bubbles which indicate that the dough is ready.

Prepare the chosen cake pan with a thin layer of butter and finally flour and pour the dough ready to be baked. Cook for about 30 minutes at 180 ° C and test the cooking with a toothpick.

As soon as the base of the cake is ready, let it cool well, cut it into one or two layers and move on to preparing the filling. It will be important to add the hot cream to make it adhere well to the sides of the cake. Take all the ingredients of the cream, and mix them well with the  electric mixer. Then take the mixture and transfer it to a saucepan over medium heat and turn slowly. Gradually the cream will begin to thicken and when it reaches the right point pour it directly onto the cake disc to be filled and assemble the cake at the end. Leave to rest for at least 30 minutes in the fridge and proceed with the strawberry and cream decoration.
