Strawberry-mascarpone cake

Hey food lovers,

Here is my new cake recipe: a vanilla cake with fresh strawberries and mascarpone cream it is so so delicious!!! You will need less ingredients than you might think.

First step

Mix 25g sugar with125g butter. Add 1 egg and 250g flour, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and baking powder. I always add some milk and less butter to make the dough airy and light. After that bake 20 minutes at 180 ° C until the dough is golden brown. Let the cake cool a bit.

Second step

Stiffly beat 125 ml cream, add 300 g of mascarpone, some sugar and vanilla sugar. Wash and cut some fresh strawberries and cut the cake into 2 pieces. Know, Coat the first half of the cake with the cream and strawberries, then put the second part of the cake on the top. Use the rest of the cream to cover entirely the cake and then decore it with strawberries.

You should put the cake in the fridge for some hours  before eating it. And voilà! Bon apétit!

L'Occitane Cherry Blossom

L'Occitane has, besides Lush of course (J), the best natural bath and in general body products. They are made out of real (!) plants and flowers and just smell very lovely.

This box contains the cherry blossom shower gel, the matching sparkling body lotion and a hand cream which is my absolute favourite! The gel and the lotion leave your skin soft and beautiful smelling. But this hand cream is just another level: it is so moisturising and not oily at all. It is immediately absorbed into the skin and smells really amazing. I can only recommend this lovely products, especially the hand cream.
