Simple Strawberry Cake
I wanted to make a simple strawberry cake without a lot of frills, but with lots of strawberries. And this is what I got.
This is a very simple, quick and refreshing strawberry cake.
Now in the strawberry season you just have to eat them.
I soaked the sponge cake with our homemade Elderflower Syrup.
- 50 g butter
- 4 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 75 g flour
- 50 g grounded almonds
- 2 Tbsp elderflower syrup or another syrup
- 2 Tbsp water
- 50 g almond flakes
- 600-700 g fresh strawberries
- 500 g cream (I prefere single)
- 2-3 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp strawberry jam
- mint leaves
-
Melt butter and leave to cool.
-
Preheat oven at 200°C.
-
Line the bottom of the springform 20cm Ø with baking paper. Leave the sides free.
-
Whisk whole eggs, sugar, and salt for about 12 minutes until light and creamy.
-
Fold in the sieved flour and last the butter.
-
Pour sponge dough in springform and bake for 22 to 24 minutes.
-
Leave to cool for 30 minutes.
-
Use a small knife between cake and form to free. Tumble the cake and leave to cool completely.
-
Roast almond flakes without fat in a pan. Leave to cool.
-
Cut strawberries in small pieces.
-
Whip cream with powdered sugar until stiff.
-
Cut sponge cake once through the middle.
-
Soake both sponge layers with elderflower syrup-water-mix.
-
Spread strawberry jam on the first sponge layer.
-
Spread a part of the whipped cream over the jam.
-
Spread about 2/3 of the strawberries on the cake.
-
Spread whipped cream on the strawberries. (Leave some for top.)
-
Put second sponge layer on it.
-
Spread the sides straight with a pastry spatula.
-
Spread rest of whipped cream on side and top of cake.
-
Decorate the side with roasted almond flakes.
-
Decorate top with the rest of strawberries and mint leaves.
Enjoy baking!
