    Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there! I know – there is actually no need for one “special day” for moms cause they should be celebrated all year round, but I guess it is not bad to have a day off from all duties and let others do the work, right? And a slice of cake and some flowers isn’t that bad either ;P

    BUT to all children and partners – don’t let it be the only day of the year! You know they deserve more! :)

    So for today’s celebration I have some delicious strawberry cake. A naked strawberry cake to be precise ;) It is done in no time and none of you guys and girls out there have an excuse to not make one for your mom – you can do that! ;)

    I guess everybody knows about naked cakes? It’s a cake without the “wrapping” ;) You can see the filling, by not covering the outside of the cake with buttercream or whatever you would use to finish the cake. It’s a time saver and also saves some calories ;) On top – these cakes look really gorgeous! This one here turned out to be a bit taller than expected – the recipe was made for slightly larger springform tins – that’s why the layers got a bit thicker. I could have cut them thinner, but that would have been a waste of really good cake and I don’t like cake to be wasted :P So this one here endet up to be a little tower… well ;)

    The white filling is plain whipped cream – another reason for this cake to be done in no time – no complicated buttercream (even though that one would have been very nice as well). The whipped cream is whipped with confectioner’s sugar only – that’s it. If the cake has to stay outside for longer time (when it is warm or sunny for example) or when you have to prepare it for some time in advance (I recommend only couple hours not a day in advance) – add some “whip it” ore as it is called here in Germany “Sahnesteif” to the whipped cream. It helps the whipped cream to stay the way it is supposed to be – whipped and not liquid running out of the cake ;P

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160°C). Line four 7 inch (18cm) springform tins with baking parchment, grease the sides and dust with flour. Set aside.

    2. In a large bowl mix flour with sugar, baking powder and salt. In a smaller bowl purée the strawberries, add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, lemon juice and mix until combined. Add some food color if needed (optional). Whisk the eggs in another bowl until foamy. Add the strawberry-oil mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix slowly until just combined. Add the whisked eggs and also mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Divide the batter evenly between the tins and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool down for 5 minutes, then remove from the tins (run a knife around the cake to loosen it from the tin) and let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    3. Whip the heavy cream with the confectioner’s sugar until very stiff peaks form. Fill into a piping bag with a large round tip. Set aside. Cut the strawberries for the filling into small dices.

    4. To assemble the cake, place the first cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand (even out the top of the cake layers if they are domed too much before assembling the cake). Pipe small amounts of whipped cream around the edge of the cake and make a second round with some smaller portions. Add diced strawberries to the center – you should get – more or less – one even layer with the whipped cream. Place a second cake layer on top and press gently down a bit. Repeat the piping and filling with strawberries until you added the last cake layer on top. Pipe small amounts of whipped cream all over the top of the cake and decorate with the small whole strawberries. Store in the fridge until serving.

    1. Den Ofen auf 160°C (326°F) vorheizen. Vier 18cm (7 inch) Springformen mit Backpapier auslegen, einfetten und mit Mehl ausstäuben. Zur Seite stellen.

    2. In einer großen Schüssel das Mehl mit dem Zucker, Backpulver und Salz vermischen. In einer kleineren Schüssel die Erdbeeren pürieren, das Öl, Vanille Extrakt und Zitronensaft zugeben – alles gut verrühren. Wer den Kuchen schön rot haben möchte, sollte noch etwas Lebensmittelfarbe zugeben (optional). Die Eier in einer weiteren Schüssel kurz aufschlagen, bis sie anfangen schaumig zu werden. Die Erdbeer-Öl-Mischung zur Schüssel mit dem Mehl zugeben und alles kurz verrühren. Die Eier zugeben und ebenfalls nur kurz verrühren – der Teig darf nicht zu viel gerührt werden, sonst wird er sehr kompakt. Den Teig gleichmäßig auf die Springfromen verteilen und im Ofen für 25-30 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Die Kuchen etwas abkühlen lassen und dann aus der Form lösen (einmal mit einem scharfen Messer am Rand um die Kuchen schneiden, damit sie nicht am Rand kleben bleiben) und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    3. Die Schlagsahne mit dem Puderzucker aufschlagen, bis sie steif ist. In einen Spritzbeutel mit großer runder Tülle füllen und zur Seite legen. Die Erdbeeren für die Füllung in kleine Würfel schneiden.

    4. Für den Zusammenbau des Kuchens die erste Kuchenschicht auf eine Servierplatte oder Kuchenständer legen (sollten sich die Schichten zu sehr wölben, kann man sie einmal oben abschneiden und zurechtstutzen). Kleine Tupfen Sahne am Rand des Kuchens im Kreis aufspritzen und dann noch einmal eine Runde zur Mitte hin – in die freie Fläche in der Mitte gewürfelte Erdbeeren füllen, bis eine einigermaßen gleichhohe Schicht mit der Sahne entsteht. Die zweite Kuchenschicht auflegen und leicht andrücken. Dan wieder Sahne aufspritzen, Erdbeeren in die Mitte usw. bis der letzte Boden aufgesetzt wurde. Hier dann die Oberfläche komplett mit Sahnetupfen bedecken und dann mit den kleinen, ganzen Erdbeeren dekorieren. Kuchen bis zum Servieren in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    And this is how this little beauty looks on the inside. You can see that the layers are quite thick, but since the cake layers are moist, delicious and very strawberry-ish – nobody will complain. Everybody will ask for more :P
