Hina Matsuri Cake Strawberry Angel Chiffon Cake
- 1 one cake 15 cm in diameter Angel Chiffon Cake
- 5 Strawberries (for decorating)
- 100 ml Whipping cream
- 50 grams Strawberries (for making cream)
- 1 tbsp each Sugar (for the white cream and strawberry cream)
- 1 tbsp Strawberry liqueur (if available)
- 1 Shredded coconut
- Puree the strawberries: Remove the blossom ends of 50 grams worth of strawberries and cut them up to a paste using a food processor.
- (If you don't have a food processor you can grate the strawberries instead.)
- Transfer the puree to a small pot and put it on the stove to bring it to a boil.
- Once it boils leave it to simmer on a low heat for about 5 minutes.
- Then take it off and let it fully cool (be careful not to over-simmer it).
- The strawberry cream base is now complete.
- (If you have strawberry liqueur add one tablespoon and simmer it with the puree.)
- Divide your cream into two bowls, one 60 ml and the other 40 ml.
- Add one tablespoon of sugar to the 60 ml bowl and whip the cream until soft peaks form (for the white cream).
- Next add half of the strawberry puree from Step 2 to the 40 ml cream bowl, then add 1 tablespoon of sugar and whip the cream until soft peaks form.
- (For the strawberry cream.)
- Cut the angel chiffon cake in half as shown.
- Spread the remaining strawberry puree on the bottom half of the cake.
- Put white cream on top of that.
- Put the top part of the cake back on top.
- Place the cake on a plate and cover the entire thing with white whipping cream.
- The strawberry cream will go on top of this so there is no need to worry about it looking nice.
- Use a small spatula or the back of a spoon on the side of the cake to work around the sides and make easy decorations.
- Put the strawberry cream in a narrow icing bag and pipe the cream onto the cake like it is done for Mont Blanc cakes.
- Remove the blossoms of your 5 remaining strawberries, and wash and dry them thoroughly.
- Place the strawberries into the cream.
- Use clean bits of the strawberry leaves to decorate around the strawberries (of course mint could be used instead).
- Sprinkle on shredded coconut between the strawberries.
- Add a pick with Hina dolls on it and your cute Hina cake is all finished.
- The sweet and sour strawberry cream and strawberry puree and white cream sandwiched in the middle give this cake a refreshing great taste.
- Plus the cake is spongy and soft.
