Strawberry Cake with Whipped Cream

Ingredients

Farm fresh eggs - 6 pieces
Sugar - 7 tablespoons
Wheat Flour - 4 tablespoons
Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon
Orange zest - 1 piece
10% cream - 8 fl oz
Strawberry - 17.6 oz
Milk - 1 tablespoon
Chopped almonds - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 320°F.

Step 2

First, beat the egg yolks with sugar until pale and homogeneous. Add the orange zest, flour, and baking powder. Mix well. If the batter is too thick, add some milk.

Step 3

Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the main mixture. Pour the batter into a prepared pie dish (grease with butter and line with parchment paper). Bake for 35–40 minutes.

Step 4

Cool the cake layer and, when it reaches room temperature, cut it in half lengthwise to create 2 layers (the cake may sink a bit, but don't worry, the assembled cake will be very beautiful and tall enough). Squeeze orange juice over each layer (half an orange should be enough for 2 layers).

Step 5

Finely chop half of the strawberries. Whip the cream and add a tablespoon of sugar. Spread a little cream on each layer, place the strawberries, and cover with a bit more cream. Join the layers together and spread the remaining cream over the entire surface of the cake, then refrigerate for 2–3 hours.

Step 6

Before serving, decorate with the remaining strawberries and sprinkle the edges with almond flakes (for added beauty, you can lightly toast them in a dry skillet).
