From Cauldron to Cake
Spring Strawberry Cake
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 6 tbsp sugar
- 6 tbsp flour
- 1 liter milk
- 2 pudding mixes of choice (e.g., vanilla)
- 7 tbsp sugar (for the pudding)
- 1 stick margarine (or butter)
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 cup (2.5 dl) cold milk and 3 tbsp sugar (for soaking the sponge cake)
- Fresh strawberries (optional)
- Whipped cream for topping
Steps
- Preheat the oven well to about 180-392°F (200°C).
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks, and beat the egg whites into stiff peaks with a mixer.
- Gradually add 6 tablespoons of sugar to the whipped egg whites while beating continuously.
- Add the egg yolks one by one and combine with the mixer.
- Gently fold in the flour with a spatula or spoon, without using a mixer, so the mixture stays fluffy.
- Pour the mixture into a round baking pan (about 30 cm in diameter) and bake in the preheated oven until the sponge cake turns golden brown.
- Meanwhile, cook the pudding in 1 liter of milk with 7 tablespoons of sugar and let it cool.
- Beat the margarine with 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, then combine it with the cooled pudding.
- Whip the heavy cream, then fold a portion of the whipped cream into the prepared pudding filling to make it fluffier.
- Pour the mixture of 1 cup (2.5 dl) of cold milk and 3 tablespoons of sugar over the baked and cooled sponge cake so the crust absorbs it nicely.
- Place a springform cake ring around the crust and evenly spread the prepared filling.
- Arrange a layer of fresh, sliced strawberries over the filling.
- Whisk the remaining whipped cream until stiff and spread it over the strawberries.
- Leave the cake in the refrigerator to chill and set well before serving.
