// Lactose-free vanilla & strawberry cake

Fluffy and light

Vanilla sponge cake filled and covered with strawberry ganache cream 🍓.

It’s a cake that, with its simple yet delicate decoration, you can make for any occasion.

Although it takes a bit of work, it’s a delicious cake, and even without any lactose I assure you the flavor is amazing 😋🍓🍓

Ingredients: Lactose-free sponge cakes (3 pans of 14cm)

🌾Beat the eggs with the sugar until you get a creamy mixture
🌾Add the oil and vanilla extract and beat until well combined
🌾Add the previously sifted flour together with the baking powder and mix using a whisk
🌾Finally add the milk and mix until fully incorporated
🌾Pour the mixture into the pans and bake at 160ºC for 30 minutes, top and bottom heat. Check with a toothpick that it comes out clean before removing the cakes from the oven
🌾Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool on a rack for about 20 minutes before unmolding

🥣Chop the chocolate into a bowl
🥣In a small saucepan, heat 200ml of lactose-free cream without letting it boil
🥣Pour the cream over the chocolate, stir until fully melted, add the coloring, sauce, and strawberry flavoring. Mix well and cover directly with plastic wrap. Once cold, refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. I usually prepare it the day before

🥣After resting, beat until it thickens, then add the remaining 200ml of cream. Beat until the cream is dense

🎂Moisten the sponge cakes with the syrup to taste
🎂Assemble the layers: Sponge cake - 200g cream - Sponge cake - 200g cream - Sponge cake

Notes

👩🏻‍🍳I covered the cake with a naked finish, and to achieve a lighter tone I added a bit of whipped vegetable cream. This is to taste… decorations are your choice
👩🏻‍🍳For the cream you can use sauce or jam in the flavor you like most
👩🏻‍🍳If you can’t find strawberry flavoring, it’s optional. I add it because I like a slightly stronger flavor
