Birthday cake with strawberries and elder flower custard

 
 
 A couple a weeks ago, I turned 34. Since my first birhtday, I have eaten this strawberry cake and  it does not feel like my birthday until I get a piece of strawberry cake . This year I baked this version, with vanilla and elderflower custard and lots of whipped cream and strawberries.  I took a look in the blog archives and noted that there are already two or three recipes for this cake, but one more won't hurt, right? This years version was filled with a vanilla and elder custard with a little touch of lemon. Normally, I make the cake with two layers but this year, one was enough.  Don't forget to put pleny of strawberries on the cake, it makes it so much better!
 

Cake

4 eggs 1 cup flour 1 cup potato flour (or 2 cups potato flour if you want to make a gluten-free cake ) 2 cups sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder butter and bread crumbs to form

Whisk the eggs and sugar until fluffy. Add the dry ingredients, don't whisk, just carefully stir them into the
batter. Grease a cake-pan (with removable edges) with butter and sprinkle it with bread crumbs, bake at 175 degrees for about 20-25 minutes . The cake must be completely dry when you take it out.

3 egg yolks
3 cup cream

with lemon juice and finely grated lemon peel and elderflower lemonade Pour the liquid into 
the egg mixture and continue whisking , click the butter and rapids tight whisk until you have a smooth cream.

 Divide the cake in two pieces, and spread the custard on the bottom and then put on the other piece of cake. Cover the cake with 4 cups of whipped cream and about 500 g of strawberries.
