Charlotte aux Fraises
- 1 Sponge cake
- 1 Biscuit
- 200 ml Heavy cream (dairy-based)
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 pack Strawberries (small)
- Bake the sponge cake such as "Fluffy and Moist Sponge Cake".
- If you don't use up the sponge cake batter, bake the leftovers in cupcake molds.
- While baking the cake, prepare the biscuit batter.
- Bake the biscuits after the cake is done.
- While the cake cools, slice the strawberries.
- Whip the heavy cream.
- Brush a simple syrup on the cake to retard drying and to lock in the moisture.
- Slice the cake in half horizontally.
- Spread the whipped cream and line with strawberries to the bottom layer of the cake.
- Put plenty of whipped cream on top of the strawberries.
- Top with the other cake layer.
- Coat the whole cake roughly with whipped cream.
- The biscuits hide the cream, so you don't need to make it perfect
- Trim the edge of the biscuits to make their length same.
- Put the biscuits around the cake.
- Make sure the tops sticking out are about 1 cm higher than the cake.
- Pipe the whipped cream.
- Fill in fruits inside the whipped cream circle.
- I used a 16 cm round mold.
- This is made with a 12 cm round mold.
- Tie a ribbon and make it cute for a gift.
- Bake the extra batter and decorate with leftover toppings.
