Strawberry and White Chocolate Surprise Cake

This pretty in pink (and white) Strawberry and White Chocolate Surprise Cake is a delicious bake perfect to make for a loved one on Valentines Day. Each slice hides a little strawberry heart surprise too.

Valentines Day is the perfect excuse to bake this gorgeous Strawberry and White Chocolate Surprise Cake for someone special. Or maybe just bake it because cakes are for every day and not just February the 14th lol!

The ‘surprise’ part of this cake is that inside each slice is little love heart, albeit a strawberry heart. Well, ok so half a  strawberry but they are red and look a little like a heart shape. 

The great thing about adding a strawberry piece inside the cake batter, is that it adds a lovely sweet burst of colour and sweetness to each slice. 

The cake is decorated with drizzles of white chocolate, some heart shaped marshmallows (Dr.Oetker) and some edible pink sprinkles. Nothing too fancy, but pretty to look at nonetheless.

I think this cake makes a real centrepiece.

A pretty cake, perfect to share with someone special or lots of special someones.

Review

I baked this cake in a Gugelhupf Tin that I was sent by Prestige for the purpose of a review. The tin makes a lovely shaped cake and it features their Cushion Smart™ non-stick interior which ensures better browning, faster heating and exceptional food release. It is true that my cake slipped out of the tin very easily once it was baked and cooled. It also wakes very easily with warm soapy water and a cloth.
