Strawberries and Cream for Wimbledon

Strawberries and cream are THE dessert when it comes to Wimbledon. For that reason I decided to introduce the “recipe” here, it is pretty straight forward, you whip the cream with sugar and vanilla, you also mix the strawberries with sugar and vanilla (so four ingredients in total) and this is then layered into a dessert. According to Wimbledon more than 140,000 portions are served during the two-week tournament. Serving strawberries with cream dates back to Victorian times, it was often served for banquets, picnics, and other summer festivities. As Wimbledon traditionally takes place during the high season of British strawberries, it comes as no surprise why it has been popular for a long time. Wimbledon was established in 1877 and has since then kept this tradition.

Strawberry Sponge Roll or brazo de reina from Colombia

It barely ever happens, but this does coincide. This recipe is the same in Germany as well as Colombia. Today I am presenting a strawberry sponge roll from Germany or brazo de reina from Colombia. This sponge roll is super easy to make and is filled with heavy cream and cubed strawberries. If you are expecting guests, I highly recommend this roll as it is easy to prepare and fast to make. So far every single person has loved this recipe, Colombians and Germans alike.

Simple Slab Cake with Strawberries and Whipping Cream

Einfacher Blechkuchen mit Erdbeeren und Sahne

Shame on me, I haven’t posted enough slab cakes even though I really like them. I prepared this simple slab cake with an abundance of strawberries and whipping cream the first time about a year ago when we had a large family gathering. I count myself lucky for having managed to snap a picture of a cut slice, it was gone within seconds, it took my relatives very little time to consume. No wonder, because it is so delicious.
