Preparation of the whipped cream and strawberries

  • Meanwhile, prepare your whipped cream. Put ice cubes in a bowl and then put another bowl on top and whip your cream inside by putting your powdered sugar and your cream. The colder your products, the faster your cream will rise. Beat with an electric whisk and set aside in a cool place.
  • Prepare your strawberries by washing and hulling them. Reserve 8 strawberries for decoration and cut the rest into rounds or lengthwise.

Finish

  • When your cake is cooked, remove it from the oven and from its mould. Let it cool and then cut it in 2 in the thickness. You get 2 discs.
