Sponge cake with strawberries and jelly - recipe

Preparing the cake begins with baking the sponge cake. We will bake a biscuit based on the classic recipe of eggs, flour and sugar. Beat chicken eggs into a deep bowl.

To get a fluffy foam, it is advisable to use chilled eggs. Add sugar.

Now you need to beat the eggs with sugar with a mixer until you get a fluffy foam.

Pour out the vanilla and baking powder from the bags.

Sift the required amount of flour through a sieve. Pour the sifted flour into a bowl.

Using a mixer, mix the biscuit dough until smooth. Turn on the oven at 200C.

Line the bottom of a springform round pan with baking paper.

Lubricate its bottom and walls with sunflower oil. Pour the biscuit dough into the pan and place in the oven.

While it is baking, pour hot water over the gelatin. Bake the biscuit for 20-25 minutes. Once you're sure it's ready, remove it from the pan. Carefully remove it onto a plate.

For the strawberry sponge cake, prepare. Place sour cream in a bowl. Add sugar and vanillin to it.

Stir with a mixer for 2-3 minutes. Then add the swollen gelatin. Beat everything with a mixer again.

Place the cooled one upside down into the mold. This will give you a smoother cake surface. If for some reason your biscuit turns out to have a “hump in the center,” then it is advisable to cut off this bulge and place the biscuit itself with the back side up.

Wash the strawberries. Dip it lightly with napkins. Tear off the stems. Cut each berry lengthwise.

Place strawberry halves cut side down. Adjust the number of berries at your discretion. If desired, you can take more strawberries.

Pour sour cream jelly over strawberries. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. After the sour cream jelly has hardened, and this is easy to check, remove the cake from the refrigerator.

Transfer it to that plate. Apply whipped cream from a can around the cake. Place strawberry halves and mint leaves on top of the sponge cake. Sprinkle with coconut flakes.

Cut the chocolate cake horizontally into two parts.




Pour half a glass of boiled water into the poured strawberry syrup.
Evenly soak the slices of the cakes with the strawberry syrup and let stand for 5~10 minutes so that the liquid is absorbed.




Spread one quarter of the cream on both cake layers.
Run a knife along the sides of the mold and tip the mold onto a plate covered with plastic wrap. Shake the jelly out of the mold onto a plate, and separate the paper circle from the jelly.
Place the jelly on the cake that was on top after baking.




Place the second cake layer on top (which was the bottom), cream on jelly.






Cover the cake on all sides with the remaining cream.

  • granulated sugar – 1 tbsp.
  • For the creamy jelly layer:
  • gelatin – 25 g;

  • fresh strawberries – 500 g.

Preparation

Like any cake, the base should consist of a cake layer. If you don’t yet have your own proven favorite recipe for baking sponge cakes, use ours. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then gently add sugar, yolks and sifted flour in a thin stream. A prerequisite is that the eggs must be straight from the refrigerator. Mix everything until smooth, pour into a pan lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The best cake size is obtained when using a mold with a diameter of 24-26 cm.
If you use your own sponge cake recipe, do not try to make it particularly high, 1–1.5 cm will be enough.


Before you start shaping the cake, cut off the top of the sponge.


Pour gelatin with water, leave for a few minutes to swell, and then dissolve in a water bath.


The cream in this recipe needs thick cream, so buy homemade or store-bought, but with a fat content of at least 30%. Pour the cream into a bowl, add sugar and beat well with a whisk. If possible, replace the cream with Mascarpone cheese, it makes the cake even tastier. Add dissolved gelatin to the resulting whipped mass.


Divide the eggs into yolks and whites. Beat the yolks with sugar and the whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.


Add the beaten egg mixtures to the cream one at a time.


Pour the resulting creamy egg mixture into the sponge cake, which is pre-positioned in a springform pan. Refrigerate until completely frozen.


Wash the strawberries, remove the sepals and let them drain a little, then cut into slices.
Prepare the packaged jelly, cool it.
When the cream has hardened well, place the strawberry slices overlapping them in a circle.


Pour cooled jelly filling on top.


Place the cake back in the refrigerator until the top layer of jelly hardens.
Before serving, release the cake from the springform pan.
Strawberry jelly cake turns out very impressive and beautiful! It can be stored in the refrigerator for no longer than 3 days.

If you don't have time to bake a biscuit.

In the case when you don’t have any free time for baking, but you really want to make such a cake, you have two options to make a cake with cream and strawberries without baking.

  1. Buy ready-made sponge cake from the store.
  2. Prepare the base for the cake according to the cheesecake principle. For this you will need 350 g of shortbread cookies, 70 g of milk and 100 g of butter. Break the cookies into pieces, put them in a blender and grind into crumbs. Melt the butter in a water bath and combine with cookie crumbs, add milk. Mix the mixture thoroughly until smooth, line the bottom of the mold and place in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to harden.
  3. Do all further steps as described in the recipe above, and you will get an almost delicious jelly-strawberry cake without baking.

Strawberries for this dessert can be used not only fresh, but also frozen, so please your family with their beauty and deliciousness all year round.

Oh, how I don’t want to cook in the oven in the heat! Today I propose to make a delicate no-bake cake with fresh strawberries. The base will be shortbread cookies, followed by a delicate layer of whipped cream and condensed milk, and finally, transparent strawberry jelly. And be sure to use fresh strawberries, they will decorate the dessert! Have you already imagined this bliss? Here we go.

Preparing jelly strawberry cake will take some time, but the process is not at all labor-intensive and, most importantly, not “hot”.

Ingredients

  • shortbread cookies 150 g
  • butter 70 g
  • cream 33% 200 ml
  • condensed milk 250 g
  • strawberries 500 g
  • gelatin 2 tbsp. l.
  • water 400 ml
  • sugar 150 g

How to make jelly cake with strawberries

  1. I am preparing everything necessary. Pour gelatin into 100 ml of cold water and set aside. I wash the strawberries, remove the stems and dry them. I take out the condensed milk in advance so that it is at room temperature.

  2. I break the shortbread into pieces and put it in a food processor.

  3. Grind until crumbly. Pour in melted butter.

  4. I scroll again. The resulting mixture should not crumble. Otherwise, you need to add more oil.

  5. I line a suitable mold (I have a diameter of 24 cm), preferably a detachable one, with cling film. I level and compact the cookie layer well. I put it in the refrigerator for a while.

  6. I dissolve the swollen gelatin in a water bath or in the microwave at low power. It is necessary to clearly grasp the moment of dissolution of the crystals and prevent overheating.

  7. Pour half of it into condensed milk and stir quickly.

  8. Whip the cream to soft peaks.

  9. I add condensed milk and gelatin in portions. I mix only with a spatula or spoon, I don’t use a mixer. But you can’t hesitate either, because the gelatin will quickly begin to set upon contact with cold cream.

  10. The result will be a very airy mass.

  11. I cut several strawberries into slices and place them along the edge of the mold. I spread the creamy mixture.

  12. I put it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, the layer should set at least a little.

  13. To prepare strawberry jelly, place about two cups of strawberries in a saucepan and add sugar.

  14. Pour in 300 ml of water and boil for 5 minutes after boiling. The result will be something like liquid strawberry jam.

  15. We only need syrup. When it cools down, pour in the remaining gelatin.

  16. I cut the strawberries and place them all over the surface of the cake in a circle.

  17. Using a spoon, carefully pour the cooled strawberry jelly over the berries. I put it in the refrigerator until it hardens completely, from 3 hours, or preferably overnight.

I serve the jelly cake with strawberries chilled.

On a note:

  • instead of a layer of cookies, you can bake shortbread or sponge cake;
  • Strawberry jelly can be purchased or made from ready-made strawberry jam.
