A delightful cake featuring vanilla sponge layers filled with mascarpone cream and topped with honey-glazed strawberries, perfect for impressing someone special.
1. Whisk together the melted (and cooled) butter, sugar, vanilla, milk, eggs, honey, and lemon zest until well combined. Then add the flour and baking powder.
2. Pour it into a lined 20cm or 8 inch cake tin and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check if a toothpick comes out clean after 50. Allow to cool completely.
3. For the cream: Whip together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and the honey until stiff peaks form, then add it to the top of the cake.
4. When ready to serve, slice the strawberries and add the honey. Mix gently until the honey is melted through all the strawberries. Add the strawberries on top and enjoy.
