Strawberry Dream
- 1 Basic Genoise Cake
- 100 ml A) Water
- 20 grams A) Sugar
- 1 tbsp A) Rum
- 200 ml B) Heavy cream
- 15 grams B) Sugar
- 1 strawberries Any decorations that you want to use
- In the stainless steel bowl mentioned above, coat the sides and bottom with butter and dust with bread flour (not listed in ingredients).
- Prepare and bake the sponge cake from.
- Once it's cooled down, remove the cake from the mold and slice it horizontally into thirds.
- If you're worried about removing the cake from the mold, feel free to line the bowl with a thin belt of parchment paper (etc.)
- before baking to ease the removal.
- This is what I used to get the cake out of the mold.
- With this, I was able to get it out with minimal tearing to the sides and underside.
- Take all the ingredients in group A and combine them to make a syrup.
- Now generously cover the cake layers with said syrup using the tip of a brush.
- Skip the underside of the layer that's going to be on the bottom.
- Next, take the ingredients in group B and mix them.
- After mixing, spread the frosting on the tops of the layers.
- Now decorate the tops with sliced strawberries.
- Spread the heavy cream over the strawberries to cover them.
- Layer on 1 sheet of sponge cake.
- Keep stacking the layers on top of each other until your cake looks like this.
- Now, make sure to smooth out the uneven sides to prepare for decorating.
- After that, cover the whole cake with the heavy cream.
- From here on out, you can design the cake as you please.
- I arranged the sliced strawberries around the base.
- After stacking another layer of sliced strawberries around the cake to make two levels, I placed thin chocolate discs in a ring above them.
- This time I used chocolate that I made myself.
- My child requested that they wanted chocolate discs, so I made my own.
- On top, arrange the sliced strawberries in the form of a flower bouquet.
- Next, on the chocolate discs, draw with some melted milk chocolate.
- Faces and flowers are what I drew.
- Don't forget to write happy birthday on a few of them.
- You don't want to cause an argument!
- And it's finished I very generously used two small packs of strawberries.
- With the leftover cream, you can fill the crevices between the strawberries.
- If you don't, it just creates a more simple cake which I feel is just perfectly fine.
- When you cut it, this is what it should look like.
- I made this cake three years ago with four layers, but as I think about the balance between the strawberries and the sponge cake, it's best made with three layers only.
