- eggs - 4 pcs.
- flour - 100 g (4 tbsp. l. with medium slide)
- sugar - 80 g (4 tbsp. l. with a small hill)
Strawberry Cream:
- strawberries - 600 g

- cottage cheese - 400 g
- gelatin - 40 g
- water - 250 ml
Decoration:
- fresh strawberries - 400 g
- water - 350 ml
- strawberry jelly - 1 pack
Step by step cooking recipe:
- Let's bake a biscuit. The eggs are divided into protein and yolk. Beat the whites with a mixer gradually adding 80 g of sugar. Whisk until firm and stable. Add the egg yolks one at a time to the beaten egg whites, continuing to beat. Sift the flour into the beaten eggs in 3 approaches, after each shortly beating with a mixer at low speeds. You should get an airy homogeneous dough.
- We shift the dough into a form covered with parchment paper and distribute it in a form. We put the biscuit in the oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for 30-35 minutes. We take out the baked cooled biscuit from the mold, cut off the top crust. Biscuit cake cut into 2 identical parts.
- We collect the cake in the culinary ring. We put it on a dish and put one biscuit cake. Between the culinary ring and the biscuit we put an acetate film and press it with the help of the ring to the biscuit.
- Preparing syrup for soaking biscuit. Pour 100 ml of water into a saucepan and pour 100 g of sugar. We put everything on the fire, bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Cool the finished syrup to room temperature.
- Cooking cream for the cake. Pour gelatin into a metal bowl and fill it with cold water. Mix the gelatin well and leave to swell for about 15 minutes.
- Place strawberries in a chopper and chop until smooth.
Put cottage cheese in a separate bowl, pour yogurt without additives, pour sugar and 8 g of vanilla sugar. Puree the curd mass well with an immersion blender.
Add strawberry puree to the chopped curd mass and mix well. - Gelatin is already swollen, dissolve it over low heat and bring it to a temperature of about 50 degrees. Add the heated gelatin to the strawberry-curd cream, constantly mixing with a mixer at low speed. Immediately after preparation, the cream turns out to be quite liquid, leave it on the table for about half an hour so that it thickens a little.
- We soak the prepared biscuit cake well with sugar syrup. Pour half of the already slightly thickened strawberry cream on top. We put the second biscuit cake and soak it well with sugar syrup. Pour in the remaining strawberry cream.
Cover the cake with cling film and put in the refrigerator to harden for at least 4 hours, and preferably at night. - To decorate the cake, dilute a pack of strawberry jelly in 350 ml of hot water. I use about 25% less liquid for jelly than indicated in the instructions. Mix everything until the gelatin is completely dissolved and leave to cool to room temperature.
- Cut 400 g of fresh strawberries into slices and lay them beautifully in circles on a frozen cake. Gently pour the cooled strawberry jelly onto each strawberry with a spoon. This stage takes about a third of the jelly. If all the jelly is poured onto the cake at once, then the strawberry decoration will pop up and there will be no beautiful pattern. Place the cake in the refrigerator to chill for about 15 minutes. When the first layer hardens, fill in the rest of the jelly. Place the cake back in the fridge to chill for another 2 hours.
We take out the finished cake from the ring and carefully remove the acetate film. - The strawberry cake is beautiful and delicious.
