Mom, I made this strawberry vanilla cake for you. Because you love roses so much. I made this for Mother’s Day. The vanilla cake layers are a moist and sturdy base, which is then filled with a strawberry filling. This time I decided not to make my beloved sponge cake, but instead tried a new recipe. Yes, the filling does contain butter, but it also has a large part of strawberries and also cream cheese. I feel it tastes lighter than any buttercream. This cake is perfect for Mother’s Day, but obviously it can also serve as the base for any wedding cake. You can see in this video how I make the roses.
Are you interested in an impressive dessert, which does not require any baking and which can be prepared in advance? Then look no further, this strawberry tiramisu roll is perfect for you. We will not turn on the oven, we will only whip up some mascarpone with heavy cream and chop some strawberries, that is mainly it, the rest is taken care of by the fridge. Additional bonus points: this recipe does not require any eggs or alcohol.
Berry pie, today it is triple berry day. How to make a pie crust I explain in this blog post. This pie is filled with at least three types of berries. I had a lot of blueberries, some raspberries, and blackberries. You may also use strawberries, or, if you want to go crazy, even cherries. This pie is another summer pie, feel free to check out my cherry pie, peach pie, strawberry pie, or these blueberry hand pies. The trick for a proper set filling is here that you cook half of the berries first with some cornstarch and then add the fresh berries for additional texture. This is so delicious, I promise.
This simple strawberry cake is perfect for any summer gathering, it is easy to transport and has this vibrant color and also taste to it. You may wish to take it to a picnic . It is packed with 500 grams of fresh strawberries and zest from two lemons. I sprinkled it with sliced almonds, but that is optional. Just grab a piece, enjoy the sun and take a bite, yum. This is one of these cakes you are going to bake over, and over again. Tip: if you carry it with the parchment paper still below, it is super easy to lift out and cut, so delicious for any gathering…

#1 Strawberry tiramisu with no raw egg or alcohol
#2 Moist strawberry chocolate cake
Today I am presenting a rhubarb strawberry crostata or rhubarb strawberry galette. You may call a crostata or galette the cousin of rhubarb pie or rhubarb tart. Yes, you have pie dough, but you just roll it out to a circle, arrange the fruits in the middle of it, and then you fold the edges toward the middle. There is no lattice pattern, no need to decorate, or even using a pie dish, this is much faster and easier. I was very much in the mood for a simple and quick tart, so here it is. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making this crostata. If you prepare the dough the night before, it comes together in a jiffy.
Today I decided to open strawberry season, I am celebrating with this delicious Finnish strawberry cake called “mansikkakakku” (which literally translates as strawberry cake). The cake consists of fluffy sponge cake, whipping cream and lots of strawberries, I tell you, even though it is only the two of us, we managed to eat this cake within a few days, we loved it. This is the cake version of the strawberry sponge cake. Reason for this decadent cake is simple, I am celebrating. I am celebrating to date exactly six years ago I had a horrible bike accident including brain bleeding, but I didn’t get any permanent damage from it. If you would like to learn more, check out this blog article. To me this is like celebrating another birthday, it only took a few seconds, but my life could have been completely different.
Today I am presenting a roasted strawberry pie with some braided topping. My strawberry season was extremely long this year. I started in Spain on holiday where they were already at the end of the season to return to Germany and continue. Here in Munich lockal strawberries are just available now, so I have been eating fresh and local strawberries for quite some time now. I didn’t know this, but roasted strawberries are even better than just baked strawberries, believe me, this is a special treat.
It barely ever happens, but this does coincide. This recipe is the same in Germany as well as Colombia. Today I am presenting a strawberry sponge roll from Germany or brazo de reina from Colombia. This sponge roll is super easy to make and is filled with heavy cream and cubed strawberries. If you are expecting guests, I highly recommend this roll as it is easy to prepare and fast to make. So far every single person has loved this recipe, Colombians and Germans alike.
Strawberry tiramisu with no raw egg or alcohol, who would be interested in a piece? It probably comes as no surprise that I am a huge fan of tiramisu as it contains my beloved sponge cake. I love tiramisu with a fruity flavor. For that reason you can already find a strawberry tiramisu cake on my blog as well as the Brazilian version with peaches. Today I wanted to introduce the “classic” version. But I am using the word classic lightly as we will make the ladyfingers ourselves and will simply make one full layer instead of single ladyfingers and we use the fruit strawberry. Try to imagine a tiramisu sweetened with elderflower cordial, a slightly lighter cream with mascarpone and farmer’s cheese with no raw egg and strawberries sandwiched in between, once as puree and once fresh. I did enjoy this dessert a lot!
