Strawberry Pie – Fraisier

For years I've wondered how this cake is made. The last and most challenging recipe we prepared at Delicatessen was Fraisier, or Strawberry Cake.

It's an incredibly delicious cake, but it's a little difficult to make. If you prepare your cake 1 day in advance, you will save a lot of time.

Tomorrow, on Monday, the facebook voting of our most beautiful table competition will start. Good luck to everyone participating...

Strawberry Pie – How to Make Fraisier Recipe?

1. Let's set the oven to 180 degrees. Let's put a pot in which we put hot water on the burning stove, let's put 4 eggs at room temperature with sugar in a mixer bowl with a hand beater and whisk them in the bain-marie style.
2. The aim here is to melt the sugar without cooking the egg and then to get a fluffier cake by whisking it in the mixer and cooling it. When the mixture is hot, *never let it boil, whisk it with a mixer and cool it until it swells.
3. Add the sifted flour and melted warm butter and mix with a wooden spoon. Spread the baking paper over the entire baking tray. Spread the dough at an even height to cover the entire pan. Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes.

Syrup recipe:

• 150 gram of sugar
• 50ml. Raspberry syrup or strawberry liqueur

Making Syrup:

• Let's boil water and sugar for 1 minute to wet our cake, add the liquor when it cools down.

Pastry Cream:

• 500 ml. milk
• 4 egg yolk
• 100 gram of sugar
• 65 grams of flour

2. When it gets hot, let's add the gelatins, if there is no starch, 1 stick of vanilla or 1 teaspoon of powdered vanilla and flour and mix quickly. When the cream thickens, take it off the heat and add the butter.
3. Mix it slowly in the whisk until it cools down.

Assembly:

1. With whichever mold the cake will be made, the cake is cut into two equal parts.
2. You can make this cake, which was originally made with a rectangular mold, with any type of mold you want. The mold is oiled and placed on the serving plate that we will serve. If your mold is not clamped, it will be useful to lay baking paper under it.
3. A piece of the cake is placed at the bottom and moistened with syrup, a thin layer of cream is applied to fix the strawberries on the cake, and the strawberries are divided into two and lined up in the mold.
4. Lots of strawberries are laid out. Pour the cream to fill the gaps and smooth the cream with a spatula. The second piece of cake is placed on the top and pressed a little.
5. It is moistened with syrup and a thin layer of the remaining cream is applied.
6. Leave the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Carefully remove from the mold. You can use a few strawberries for decoration, optionally fruit jelly to shine the strawberries, a thin layer of marzipan dough, fondant, lots of powdered sugar or whipped cream.
