TWD: Berry Surprise Cake
And for my first installment of Tuesdays With Dorie for the year 2009, here's presenting to you my version of Berry Surprise Cake as chosen by Mary Ann of Meet me in the Kitchen!
I made this in a valiant attempt to provide my dearest boyfriend with a birthday cake ever since he last complained of not having one the last year. oh well... For my dosage of red fruits, I turned to Egyptian Strawberries for the solution and a dash of strawberry liquer mixed in the sugar syrup for dabbing the insides of the cake. Sounds exotic? Meanwhile, while tasting the filling, I found it to be a little tastless and proceeded to adding just a little more sugar and vanilla. But not too much since the whipped cream frosting would perhaps provide the sweet element to the entire makeup of the dessert.
For more exciting versions of this lovely recipe, please scroll down the list of TWD bakers! and watch out for next weeks recipe Fresh Ginger and Chocolate Gingerbread!

Wow! Your cake looks fabulous!
Wow, that definitely looks good. I guessed Zhiheng had a memorable birthday... A nice lunch and a birthday cake baked with love...
The cross section of the cake looks pretty soft, won't the strawberries weigh it down?
Now I understand why your expectation of strawberry shortcake is so high...
Looks nice. I am definitely looking forward to next week.
