You’ll love this simple and easy strawberry cake recipe! The cake is delicious with both fresh and frozen strawberries!

This cake can be made in 1h.

Ingredients (for a 20-diameter cake tin):

• 120 g unsalted and melted butter plus ½ tbsp for greasing the pan
• 200 g granulated sugar plus 3 pieces strawberries
• 2 large eggs, yolk and white separated
• 1/3 grated lemon peel
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 200 g all-purpose flour
• 130 g sour cream or non-fat yoghurt
• 250 g fresh strawberries, cut in half. If using frozen, take them out a few hours in advance.
• Optional icing sugar, hot milk chocolate or homemade whipped cream for serving.

Preparation:

Start by making the dough:

• Place an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Use a round cake tin 20 cm in diameter and 5 cm deep. Line with baking paper and brush the edges with butter;
• In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer at high speed until light and airy;
• Add the egg yolks, lemon zest, vanilla and almond extract. Beat until smooth and blended;
• Then fold in the cinnamon, baking powder and salt;
• Sift the flour and fold half into the flour mixture. Stir and then add the remaining flour and stir again;
• Add the egg whites and sour cream. Mix on low speed until smooth.

Pan:

• Spread the cake batter in an even layer in the baking pan;
• if you have medium-sized strawberries, cut them in half and arrange them on top of the batter, covering the top of the cake. Then sprinkle the strawberry cake with one teaspoon of sugar;
• bake in a preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes (depending on the oven). We recommend that you use a toothpick to check that the cake is cooked through. If the dough sticks when poked, it is not ready.

Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and remove from the tin. Place strawberry side up and leave to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with icing sugar, hot chocolate or whipped cream.

Delicious!

This is one of the favourite recipes of the owners of “Augusta zemenes”, Guntaras and Iveta, to treat the family when there is a free moment and a big craving for something special!

Ingredients (for 4 persons):

• 450 g strawberries
• 100 g sugar (depending on the sweetness of the strawberries, we use to taste)

Blend this and the strawberry soup is ready!

You can put whipped cream in the soup (much better homemade) or we usually make a buberte.

Ingredients (for 4 persons) for the buberta:

• 5 eggs
• 5 tbsp sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
• pinch of fine salt
• 1 l milk
• 150 g semolina (a little depends on the manufacturer)

Preparation of the bubert:

• Separate the egg whites from the yolks;
• add 3 tablespoons of sugar and vanilla sugar to the yolks and beat well – until the mixture has changed colour and the sugar has melted;
• add salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar to the egg whites and whisk to a stiff froth;
• pour the milk into a saucepan and start heating. Add the remaining sugar and continue heating over a low heat, gradually adding the semolina, stirring constantly to prevent the porridge from curdling and burning. The porridge needs to be airy, not a solid lump of semolina, so watch the amount of semolina yourself;
• Once the semolina has thickened, add the eggs. Act quickly here so that the puff does not burn. Add the beaten egg yolk to the meringue while stirring. Stirring (you can use a whisk or a mixer – directly in the saucepan while it is heating), heat for another minute or so. Remove from the heat, whisk in the egg white foam and return to the heat and simmer for another half minute.

The puff is ready! Let it cool down and then the strawberry soup is ready!

Enjoy!

• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 400 g chicken breast fillet
• 1 packet romaine lettuce mix

• 1/2 cup glazed pecans

Preparation:

Place 150 g strawberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a bowl, gradually add olive oil in a steady stream. This should be mixed well or even blended if the berries are large. Refrigerate the sauce until serving.

Cook the spiral pasta as directed by the manufacturer.

While the grill or oven is warming, sprinkle the chicken with the remaining salt and pepper. Grill the chicken at 165-175 degrees, 6-8 minutes per side. If you don’t have a grill, you can also roast it in the oven or on a griddle.

When the chicken is ready, cut it into slices. Divide the salad mixture among three plates, top with pasta, onions, chicken and 1 cup sliced strawberries. Pour the dressing prepared earlier in a bowl and sprinkle with the pecans.

Have a delicious meal in great company!
