What is Speculoos Strawberry Cream Cake

A cake of speculoos biscuits stood on edge in a strip of piped whipped cream and cream cheese, with strawberries, speculoos spread and almonds.

How to make Speculoos Strawberry Cream Cake

Tips from the cook

  • Whip the cream stiff before mixing in the cream cheese, so the filling holds a piped shape.
  • The stabiliser keeps the cream firm, so do not leave it out if the cake has to stand for a while.
  • Build it on a board in a cool place, as the cream softens in a warm kitchen.
  • Chill it before slicing, so the layers set and the slices stay neat.
