Prepare a 8 x 8 inch square cake mould lined with parchment paper and preheat the oven at 170�c
Then, in a bowl add in butter and sugar. Using a hand mixer, start creaming the ingredients until the colour pales.
After that, add in the eggs and mix until all is combined.
At this part, you need to add in the dry ingredients and milk alternately.
Start with the flour by mixing it using low speed and then add in milk.
Repeat the process until all the ingredients have been used.
Pour this batter into the cake mould and bake for 40 minutes or until cooked.
Let the cake chill before you cut.
After the cake is completely cooled, take a serrated knife and carefully slice the cake in half from its side. You have made 2 layers of cake. Set aside.
Preparing cream frosting:
In another bowl, add the butter. Using a hand mixer, beat the butter until it's soft and the colour slightly pales.
After that, add in icing sugar and continue mixing until the cream is fluffy.
Add in the vanilla essence for flavour!
Put some of the cream into the piping bag together with the nozzle. Set aside.
Assembling:
Take your lower cake layer and spread the cream frosting starting from the centre of the cake to the edges.
Then, take the strawberry compote and spread it on top of the cream evenly.
Cover the lower cake layer with top layer.
Let the cake chill in the fridge for 20 minutes and then cut into small squares.
Take the cream in the piping bag and start pipe it on top of the cake by following the small square shape that you already cut just now.
Make a swirl shape and top it with fresh strawberries! Pour some strawberry compote on top for strawberry dripping effect.
