Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make layer cake with strawberries? Prepare your food. Thaw the dough and roll it out lightly. From each plate, cut out circles of different diameters, for example 24 and 22 cm. Since I made half a portion, I did not roll out the dough, and my circles were 18 and 16 cm.

Step 2

Step 2
Place a small circle in the center of the larger one and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Step 3
Bake the dough in the oven, preheated to 180°C, for 12-15 minutes. During this time the dough will rise, but will not have time to brown too much, which is how it should be. Weʼll finish him off later.

Step 4

Step 4
Remove the dough from the oven and press the center of a small circle with a spoon, leaving about 1 cm from the edge. Remove the basket from the baking sheet and cool.

Step 5

Step 5
Prepare the cream. Prepare food for him. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance; it should become soft. You can grind the almonds yourself or use ready-made flour.

Step 6

Step 6
How to make cream? Combine soft butter, ground almonds, sugar, vanilla sugar, flour, egg, lemon zest and liqueur.

Step 7

Step 7
Whisk all the ingredients of the cream until smooth. If the cream turns out to be liquid, add another 1 tbsp. flour.

Step 8

Step 8
Place the cream into the cavity in the dough and smooth it out. The dough must cool completely, otherwise the butter contained in the cream will melt and flow.

Step 9

Step 9
For the filling, wash the strawberries, dry them and cut them into quarters, small berries into halves.

Step 10

Step 10
Place strawberries on top of the cream. Sprinkle almond flakes on top. Bake the cake for 15 minutes at 180°C. Then cover the pie with foil and bake for another 20 minutes at 150°C. Cool the finished pie and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve to the table. Bon appetit!
