In the stainless steel bowl mentioned above, coat the sides and bottom with butter and dust with bread flour (not listed in ingredients).
-
2
Prepare and bake the sponge cake from.
-
3
Once it's cooled down, remove the cake from the mold and slice it horizontally into thirds.
-
4
If you're worried about removing the cake from the mold, feel free to line the bowl with a thin belt of parchment paper (etc.)
-
5
before baking to ease the removal.
-
6
This is what I used to get the cake out of the mold.
-
7
With this, I was able to get it out with minimal tearing to the sides and underside.
-
8
Take all the ingredients in group A and combine them to make a syrup.
-
9
Now generously cover the cake layers with said syrup using the tip of a brush.
-
10
Skip the underside of the layer that's going to be on the bottom.
-
11
Next, take the ingredients in group B and mix them.
-
12
After mixing, spread the frosting on the tops of the layers.
-
13
Now decorate the tops with sliced strawberries.
-
14
Spread the heavy cream over the strawberries to cover them.
-
15
Layer on 1 sheet of sponge cake.
-
16
Keep stacking the layers on top of each other until your cake looks like this.
-
17
Now, make sure to smooth out the uneven sides to prepare for decorating.
-
18
After that, cover the whole cake with the heavy cream.
-
19
From here on out, you can design the cake as you please.
-
20
I arranged the sliced strawberries around the base.
-
21
After stacking another layer of sliced strawberries around the cake to make two levels, I placed thin chocolate discs in a ring above them.
-
22
This time I used chocolate that I made myself.
-
23
My child requested that they wanted chocolate discs, so I made my own.
-
24
On top, arrange the sliced strawberries in the form of a flower bouquet.
-
25
Next, on the chocolate discs, draw with some melted milk chocolate.
-
26
Faces and flowers are what I drew.
-
27
Don't forget to write happy birthday on a few of them.
-
28
You don't want to cause an argument!
-
29
And it's finished I very generously used two small packs of strawberries.
-
30
With the leftover cream, you can fill the crevices between the strawberries.
-
31
If you don't, it just creates a more simple cake which I feel is just perfectly fine.
-
32
When you cut it, this is what it should look like.
-
33
I made this cake three years ago with four layers, but as I think about the balance between the strawberries and the sponge cake, it's best made with three layers only.
