Strawberry fresh cream cake

My first attempt... a construction challenge using unconventional equipment like a sandwich container.. some fold back clips... rubber bands. Lol.

This recipe was inspired by https://youtu.be/dMOQHxMMdkg

This instagram reel also does a good job showing construction https://www.instagram.com/reel/CN5LeemIz6G/?igshid=zsv2lsyd2qvk

Also you can google Fraisier Cake.  It’s usually made with a ring mould and diplomat cream, which is pastry cream with whipped cream stabilised with gelatin.


INGREDIENTS

I used 2 large punnets of strawberries (big ones halved for deco, smaller ones whole for inside)

400ml of heavy cream whipped with 50g caster sugar and 20g skim powder

Sponge layer and strawberries inside brushed with 1T grand marnier mixed with 2T coconut water


METHOD

Put a sponge layer down

Surround with acetate

Arrange large strawberries cut side to acetate

Cover with whipped cream leaving a shallow in the middle

Fill the shallow with the small strawberries

Cover with whipped cream

Put a sponge layer in on top and press to firm

Top with rest of cream

Place into fridge to set for an hour or so along with spare
