🧺 Ingredients

For the floor

• 3 Owner

• 90 g sugar

• 1 packet of vanilla sugar

• 90 g flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 pinch of salt

For the mascarpone cream

• 250 g Mascarpone

• 200 ml whipping cream

• 60 g icing sugar

• 1 packet of vanilla sugar

• 1 tsp lemon juice

For the strawberry topping

• 400g fresh strawberries

• 1 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp lemon juice

👩‍🍳 Preparation

1. Bake the cake base

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat). Line a 24 cm (9.5 inch) springform pan with baking paper.

Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until frothy, about 15 minutes. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together and carefully fold into the egg mixture.

Pour the batter into the tin and bake for approximately 18–22 minutes. Then allow the base to cool completely.

2. Prepare the strawberries

Wash the strawberries, remove the green parts, and halve or quarter the fruit depending on their size.

Mix with sugar and lemon juice and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then carefully pour off any excess liquid.

3. Prepare the mascarpone cream

Put mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar and lemon juice into a bowl and stir briefly until smooth.

Whip the cream until stiff peaks form and carefully fold it into the mascarpone mixture. The cream should be smooth, creamy, and firm.

4. Assemble the cake

Place the cooled base on a cake plate. Spread the mascarpone cream evenly over the base.

Then, arrange the prepared strawberries decoratively on top of the cream. For a particularly attractive presentation, the strawberry halves can be arranged in a circular pattern from the outside in.

Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

✨ Tips for a perfect cake

Strawberries: Use the most aromatic and firm strawberries possible. Very soft berries can release too much liquid.

Cream: The whipped cream should be well chilled so that it sets quickly.

Base: Allow the cake base to cool completely before adding the cream.

Extra freshness: A little finely grated lemon zest in the cream provides a particularly fresh aroma.

Decoration: A few whole strawberries in the middle make the cake especially pretty.

🍰 Serve

The strawberry mascarpone cake tastes best straight from the refrigerator. Just before serving, you can decorate it with fresh strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar.

A cup of coffee or a glass of cold iced tea goes perfectly with it.

❄️ Storage

The cake should be stored in the refrigerator. It tastes best within 1-2 days, as the fresh strawberries will release more liquid after that time.

💕 Conclusion

This creamy strawberry mascarpone cake is simple, fruity, and wonderfully creamy. The combination of a light and airy base, delicate mascarpone cream, and fresh strawberries makes it the perfect cake for cozy afternoons and summer coffee gatherings.

Anyone who loves strawberries and creamy cakes should definitely try this recipe!
