The first time I visited Love Swah, I found this blog just gorgeous… so fresh, so girly, so full of colours…
I surfed on it for so long… I got lost between her beautiful baking recipes, her useful baking tips and her inspiration page…and then I discovered Swah was also a designer, so I understood why the blog and the recipes were looking so good.
Now if you are looking for beautiful and impressive dessert recipes, Love Swah is the perfect blog!

Hi my name is Sarah but my friend’s call me Swah. I’m a former travel agent, turned graphic designer (via a brief stint in television) who’s a hopeless travel addict and obsessive home baker. I always wanted a job that incorporated my 3 loves of food, travel and design so I created Love Swah and it’s now my part-time job!”

 

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR BLOG AND YOUR COOKING STYLE?

“I have been blogging at Love Swah for 5 years now! I have a massive sweet tooth, so my blog focuses primarily on decadent desserts. As the blog has evolved, so have I, and I have started incorporating a lot of easy shortcut recipes such as single serve recipes and even some microwave baking recipes!”

 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN SYDNEY?

“Argh this is a tough one! Sydney is full of so many amazing restaurants. If I had to choose one, I’d say Nomad. They have such an interesting, varied menu, the service is impeccable and they have a great wine list.”

WHY THIS STRAWBERRY AND MASCARPONE CREAM LAYER CAKE RECIPE?

“This layer cake is one of my favourites to make. It’s pretty, easy to make and looks impressive! I also love that I can easily switch up the fruit depending on what’s in season, so I can bake it all year round.”

Ingredients
Sponge cake
Mascarpone cream filling
Servings:
Instructions
Sponge cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease 2 x deep, 20cm round cake tins.
  2. Beat butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until pale.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Add in the flour and baking powder and beat until just combined.
  5. Divide the mixture between prepared tins and bake for 15-20 mins until lightly golden brown.
  6. Cool on a wire rack before assembling
Mascarpone Cream Filling
  1. Whip the thickened cream, mascarpone cheese and sugar until light and fluffy using electric beaters.
To assemble
  1. Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each cake horizontally so you have 4 layers.
  2. Place the first layer of cake on your cake stand and spoon a ⅓ of the mascarpone cream into the middle. Spread it out evenly using an offset spatula, being careful to take it right out to the edges (for presentation purposes!)
  3. Add a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the cream, as neatly or messily as you wish.
  4. Put the next layer of cake on, and continue spreading the mascarpone cream followed by the chopped strawberries between each layers.
  5. When the top layer has been placed, dust over some icing sugar and top with whole strawberries and some edible flowers if you wish.
  6. Enjoy!
