3. Tips for Baking Strawberry Cake

Fruit cake base

You can buy a fruit cake base or bake it yourself. The fruit cake base recipe is very detailed and is sure to work. If you purchase a pie crust, please do not open and unwrap it until just before topping. The finished bases tend to dry out quickly.

Prepare strawberries

I usually do not wash my strawberries. The exception is when they are very dirty. Then it goes berry by berry under the cold waterfall and immediately into the dry. Please wash the strawberries very quickly and dry them again quickly, because the aroma is very volatile. For the cake we agreed on strawberry halves. Even after looking through 500 photos on Instagram, I could not convince Mrs. Sixt of the strawberry slices.

Filling cream or cake glaze

The addition of a filling cream is left to your taste and time horizon. The berries also taste very good laid on, poured over with cake glaze. Personally, I do not like the icing so much, even from glazing the laid fruit I would refrain in the future. After all, such a magical cake is eaten quickly at home and does not need a shelf life in the showcase.

Decoration

As decoration we have decided to freshly chopped pistachio nuts. Some flowers of wild strawberries from the garden have then also found a place on the fruit cake. The design is left to your creativity.
