Strawberry & Vanilla Cream Cake

This is a homemade strawberry and vanilla cake that I created from scratch. The sponge is light and delicious. I have added special rainbow sprinkles to the cake mixture and the cream icing has a vanilla and strawberry flavour. For my cake decoration, I selected freshly ripe strawberries, and small heart sprinkles. This is a classic recipe for making a delicious cake to share with family and friends on a special occasion.
