Healthy, because
This delicious and at the same time low-fat splendour of cake made of light sponge cake base and with a topping rich in vitamins even tolerates cream when "slimmed down" with buttermilk, as here. The sponge cake is made with spelt flour, which contains tryptophane from which our body produces serotonin, a "happiness hormone".
Even smarter
The spelt flour gives the cake a few useful roughage "on top" and also provides a pleasant nutty-intensive taste. You can also prepare the strawberry cake with lime icing with a mix of berries, but replace 200 grams of strawberries with, for example, blueberries.
