Cream Cakes

Today we make another delightful delicacy perfect for pairing with a cup of tea, provided by the ever-obliging House Elves of Hogwarts:

"Hermione refused, with a pained look at the way the elves kept bowing and curtsying, but Harry and Ron loaded their pockets with cream cakes and pies"
(Goblet of Fire 382).

When searching for recipes for "cream cakes," I found a lot of pound cakes with whipped cream. I also found a lot of recipes similar to the "Bun" recipe we prepared for our very first food item. I settled on a cake similar to those sent to Harry four his "four birthday cakes." I don't have the equipment to make small "cakes," as the text suggests, so I made one great big Cream Cake with Strawberries. Unfortunately... I made this cake months ago... and no longer know where I found the recipe... which means I don't know exactly how I made it...

I fail.

But here are some pictures of a very tasty Cream Cake with Strawberries. I'm sure if you do a bit of searching, you will easily find a similar recipe :)
