Valerie taught us the Strawberry Shortcake and Walnut Coffee Cake today. See how pretty the Strawberry Shortcake is? She said the traditional English Strawberry Shortcake is more hard, like a scone. But the modern ones uses sponge cake as the base, so it is softer. I think it is just like the muffin nowadays, some are more cake-like and not dense and heavy like those typical traditional muffins. I guess such changes is to fine-tune to people's preferences.
See the strawberries in between the soft and fluffy sponge cake? Think I will try making this soon.
Initially I was expecting the Walnut Coffee Cake to be of a butter cake texture. But turn out that this cake is of a sponge cake texture. This is something different from the usual walnut cake I ate which is heavier. I quite like this cake as it is lighter and not as oily.
