Instructions for the Strawberry Cake with Almond Topping
Let’s start preparing the Strawberry Cake with Almond Topping together. The first thing to do is to melt the butter.
To do this, you have two options. The first is to place a small saucepan with a little water at the bottom on the stove and submerge a small bowl with the butter in it, melting it over moderate heat.
The second option is to place the bowl with the butter in the microwave for a few seconds. In either case, the butter should be cool before using.
Now, focus on the strawberries, which should be stripped of their green crowns and soaked for about half an hour in a container where a teaspoon of baking soda has been dissolved.
After the time has passed, take the fruit out of the water, dry them well with paper towels, cut them into small pieces, and set them aside.
Put the sugar in a bowl, add the shelled eggs, and beat with electric whisks until the mixture becomes light, soft, and fluffy.
Pour in the melted butter. Add the flour, baking powder, and vanillin, sifted and incorporated little by little.
After a few minutes, add the strawberry pieces and mix them in using a silicone spatula or a fork. Avoid using the mixer, as they would become mush.
Pour the batter into the greased and floured baking pan. Level it and spread the almond slices on the surface.
Bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for about 40 minutes, adjusting according to your appliance’s temperatures, as thermostats do not all work the same.
After ensuring the cake is baked, remove it from the oven, let it cool. Take the cake out of the pan and place it on a serving plate.
Whether alone or in company, enjoying this delicious Strawberry Cake with Almond Topping will carve out a moment all for yourself and pamper you.
