How to make your Strawberry & Prosecco Cake

Our Strawberry & Prosecco Cake is as easy to make as it is to eat!

• First, preheat your oven and line the 4 cake tins with the baking paper provided.
• In a large bowl, beat soft butter with the contents of Bag 1. Whisk in the eggs one at a time until well combined. Add in the milk and scrape down the sides to ensure it's all mixed in.
• Divide the mixture equally between the 4 tins and use a spatula to smooth the tops down. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Once baked, place the tins on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before removing the cakes from the tins and transferring to the wire rack.
• Meanwhile, make the prosecco syrup. Gently heat the prosecco and the contents of Bag 2 in a pan. Stir and wait for the sugar to dissolve before turning up the heat and bubbling for 3 minutes. Leave to cool. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the syrup onto each sponge.
• For the icing, beat butter until light and creamy. Beat in the contents of Bag 3 in 4 stages until it starts to combine. At this point, add about 3 tablespoons of the Prosecco syrup and beat for around 2 mins until smooth and creamy.
• When ready to assemble the cake, set aside 4 of the prettiest strawberries you have. Thinly slice the remaining strawberries. Place your first sponge on the provided cake board, then spread on a layer of icing. Layer on 1/3 of the sliced strawberries and then add the next layer of sponge. Repeat this process twice more, finishing with the final cake layer.
• Cover the top and thinly spread the rest of the icing around the sides, scraping your spatula or knife close to the edge of the cake to create the 'naked' effect. Chill for 30 minutes. To decorate, add the strawberries on to the centre of the cake and scatter over the white chocolate sprinkles in Bag 4.
