Total preparation time: 2 hours Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 15-20 minutes Number of servings: 8 Ingredients: For the base: - 4 eggs - 4 tablespoons of sugar - 4 tablespoons of flour type 650 - 1 tablespoon of cocoa - 2 tablespoons of oil - 3 drops of vanilla sugar - Strawberry essence (optional) - Red food coloring (optional, for a more cheerful look) For the cream: - 500 ml of liquid cream - 500 ml of natural yogurt - 200 g of powdered sugar - 3 packets of gelatin (powdered) - Strawberry essence (for an intense taste) For decoration: - Fresh strawberries Nutritional information: This cake is an excellent choice for a snack, having a moderate calorie content, thanks to the use of yogurt and strawberries. Some of us like to think of desserts as an opportunity to indulge, but with natural and fresh ingredients, this cake remains a fairly healthy option. Step 1: Preparing the base 1. Separating the eggs: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Make sure the bowls are clean, as any trace of fat will prevent the egg whites from whipping well. 2. Whipping the egg whites: Beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until they become frothy. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until you obtain a glossy meringue that forms stiff peaks. If you use powdered sugar, this step will be easier, as it will dissolve quickly. 3. Preparing the yolks: In another bowl, mix the yolks with the oil. Add it gradually, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thick and creamy, similar to mayonnaise. 4. Combining the mixtures: Pour the yolk mixture over the meringue and gently fold with a spatula, using up-and-down motions to avoid losing air from the meringue. 5. Adding the dry ingredients: Sift the flour and cocoa over the mixture and gently fold until you obtain a homogeneous batter. It is important not to overmix, to keep the base fluffy. 6. Baking the base: Pour the batter into a removable cake pan lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Be careful, the batter bakes quickly! Step 2: Preparing the cream 1. Whipping the cream: While the base cools, whip the liquid cream until it becomes firm. This step is essential for a fluffy cream. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until well combined. 2. Preparing the gelatin: Follow the instructions on the package to prepare the gelatin. If you use gelatin that requires boiling, make sure to let it cool before adding it to the cream. 3. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the yogurt with the prepared gelatin. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition. Then, carefully add the whipped cream, gently folding to preserve the air in the cream. Step 3: Assembling the cake 1. Cooling the base: Make sure the base is completely cooled before assembling it. Gently remove it from the pan and place it back in the pan. 2. Adding the cream: Pour the yogurt cream over the base, ensuring it is evenly distributed. 3. Decorating with strawberries: Place the fresh strawberries on top of the cream, arranging them as you like. They not only enhance the appearance of the cake but also add a touch of freshness. 4. Cooling the cake: Put the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but ideally let it sit overnight. The gelatin will help the cake set, making it easier to cut slices. Step 4: Serving the cake After the cake has been in the refrigerator, it's time to take it out and serve it. Use a knife dipped in warm water to cut perfectly even slices. This cake is wonderful served alongside a fruit tea or a glass of fresh lemonade. Variations and suggestions If you want to experiment, you can replace the strawberries with other seasonal fruits, such as raspberries or peaches. Also, for an even more intense flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla essence to the yogurt cream. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use another type of gelatin? Yes, make sure to follow the specific preparation instructions for the type of gelatin you choose. 2. How can I make the cake healthier? Replace the sugar with a natural sweetener or use Greek yogurt for a cream that is even richer in protein. 3. How long can the cake be stored? The cake keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, but it is best when fresh. This strawberry yogurt cream cake is perfect for celebrating every day, bringing a smile to the faces of loved ones. Indulge in every bite and let yourself be carried away by sweet memories! Enjoy!
