So, are you ready to make the best cake in your kitchen? Of course you are and because of that you need …

SHOPPING LIST FOR THE CAKE

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

ACTION TIME

MAKING Easy Strawberry Cake Recipe

Easy Strawberry Cake Recipes — Easy Strawberry Cake Recipe for you

Ingredients for sponge cake

6 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 cup all purpose flour, unbleached

INSTRUCTIONS for Strawberry Cake

Add 6 eggs and 1 cup sugar into the mixing bowl.

Mix until the mixture becomes thick, fluffy and triples in volume, for about 10 minutes.

From this moment you will be using the spatula.(no mixer)

Mix 1 cup of flour and baking powder.

Then sift 1/3 cup of flour over the beaten egg and sugar. Using a rubber spatula, work in circular pattern, going over and under. This is very important. Be sure the flour is incorporated into egg sugar mixture.

Repeat step above 2 more times

Divide the cake mixture among 3 bake pans (6 inch baking pans).

I used 2 cups of mixture for each pan.

Bake at 350 F for about 19 minutes or until done.

Use toothpick to test if cake is done. Insert the wooden toothpick near the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.

Cool the cake.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Core the strawberries to remove the white center.

Place cleaned strawberries in a food processor and pulse until smooth.

You will have about 1 and 1/4 cup of puree.

Then put the pureed through a sieve to remove the seed. You don’t need to do this step if you like seeds .(Weirdo! I am not judging you…)

Place strawberry puree in a small saucepan over a medium heat.

Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring often. Simmer for about 30 min or until the mixture is reduced to 1/3 of the original volume.

Place the reduced puree into the fridge to allow to cool.

Next Step:

Beat the butter. Be sure that there is no lumps.

Then add 2 1/2 cups of icing sugar and mix until butter and sugar are combined.

Add your strawberry puree, vanilla and salt.

Beat together until combined.

Then add 2 cups of icing sugar and mix well until well combined.

Add 1 TBSP of whip cream if needed and wanted.

And you have it, your homemade Strawberry Buttercream Frosting made from fresh strawberries.

Enjoy.

ASSEMBLY OF BEST SPONGE CAKE

Place your first layer of cake onto a platter.

Top with easy strawberry buttercream frosting.

Add second sponge cake.

Then add a layer of strawberry buttercream.

Finish with third layer of sponge cake.

Decorate as you wish or ask your friend to do it for you.

You can use only icing sugar or you can top with more strawberry frosting and sliced strawberries.

Or you can frost the outside of your sponge cake with the leftover strawberry buttercream.

Store in the fridge for a few hours and then serve.

Quick Note

EGGS – Please use organic eggs. It is more expensive but the eggs are the biggest star inside of the cake.

Strawberry – For this recipe I used organic strawberries. It was on sale. You can use regular, fresh strawberries from any food store or local farmers market.

Flour – use all purpose, unbleached.

Baking powder – I used organic, no aluminum added.

Sugar – for this recipe I used regular white, sugar.

For step by step pictures and instructions CLICK THIS LINK

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Line the baking sheet (16 by 12 inch) with aluminum foil.

Spray with baking spray and set aside.

Bowl 1: Add dry ingredients

Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder.

To that mixture add the ground hazelnuts and stir all ingredients together.

What happen? You can’t see the flour. Like I said the boss is Hazelnuts.

Now, let’s mix eggs and sugar.

So, add to the mixing bowl eggs and sugar.

Mix on high speed for about 9 minutes or until tripled in volume.

Our next step is to combine dry and wet ingredients.

Using the spatula fold dry ingredients into the eggs, in 3 additions. (slowly)

SUPER IMPORTANT: Please, pay attention to this step.

Be very gently when mixing dry ingredients into the eggs mixture.

I will repeat again. Be sure the flour hazelnuts mixture is mixed or incorporated into the eggs mixture.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 F for about 15 to 17 minutes.

Use a toothpick to check if the cake is done.

Remove from the oven.

Cool it for about 2 to 3 hours.

While cake is resting, make the Nutella filling.

How to Make THE BEST Nutella Filling

Add cheese to the mixing bowl and mix until smooth.

Then transfer to the plate.

Using the same bowl mix the heavy cream for 2 minutes.

Then add cheese and mix until two ingredients are incorporated.

Then add crushed Wafers and hazelnuts.

Stir all ingredients using your favorite spatula.

And you just made the best Nutella filling.

MAKING CHOCOLATE GLAZE FOR Best Ferrero Rocher Cake

Heat the cream until almost boiling.

Add chopped chocolate and corn syrup to the bowl.

Pour the heated cream over the chocolate and corn syrup mixture.

ASSEMBLY for Best Ferrero Rocher Cake

You can refrigerate the cake for a few hours. It will be easier to handle.

You need to cut 3 layers of the cake. The size is 9 by 5. (The leftovers will be used for recipe 2)

Place the first layer of the cake to a serving plate.

Add Nutella filling, second layer cake.

Then add Nutella filling and the third layer of the ferrero rocher cake.

Return to fridge until filling is set.

Note: At this point, I find it is important to chill the cake before continuing to help the Nutella filling firm up.

Pour the chocolate glaze over the best ferrero cake.

Decorate with shaved chocolate, Ferrero chocolate candies, ground hazelnuts, icing sugar.

Bake at 375 F for about 12 minutes or until done.

Remove from the oven and cool.

When you are ready to assembly, cut the cake into 3 equal peaces. (5 by 11)

Chocolate Filling for Reform Torte

Very quickly mix the egg yolks and sugar. (just for a minute)

Then using a double boiler method cook the yolks and sugar on a medium heat for about 10 minutes or until thickens up. (for some people 15 minutes or shorter)

Stir constantly until yolks thickens up.

Then add the chopped chocolate and stir until melted.

Take of the heat, add vanilla and cool it.

In a mixing bowl mix the butter.

Then add the half of cooled chocolate mixture.

Mix everything and then add the rest of chocolate mixture.

Again mix until the chocolate filling is smooth.

Ok, you just made the best chocolate filling.

IMPORTANT for double boiler method: First let water boil for the bottom pot and then add the top pot with mixture of egg yolks and sugar.

ASSEMBLY OF THE REFORM TORTA

Lay first piece, cover with chocolate filling.

Then cover with second piece of the cake.

Add the rest of the chocolate filling.

Cover with the third piece of the cake. (5 by 11)

At this point I like to transfer the cake into the fridge or freezer.

While the cake is resting in the fridge, mix the heavy cream and Whip it (if you are using it)

Cover the whole cake with heavy cream and decorate with shaved chocolate and ground walnuts.

Enjoy and share.

Quick Note

Butter – I used organic, unsalted butter. For this recipe the butter must be at room temperature.

Chocolate – I used semi sweet chocolate but you can use dark or unsweetened.

Eggs – use large, organic eggs (say hello to your local farmers market)

Heavy Cream – I used 35%

Walnuts – I bought the walnuts from the Costco. (in my opinion the best price. $15 for 1 kg)

FINAL NOTE for the best REFORM TORTA

This recipe is MUST MAKE!

It is an old fashion traditional recipe from Serbia.

And let me say again: The best chocolate dessert where the cake is almost invisible because the chocolate filling is the BIG BOSS! You will love, love this cake.
