1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
1 cup flour, all-purpose
1/3 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 egg whites
1 cup sugar
walnuts
2 cups whipping cream, sweeten to taste
1 quart strawberry, cleaned and hulled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • *Prepare an 8" or 9" cake pan lining it with parchment paper (or grease the pan).
  • Cream the butter and the 1/2 cup of sugar.
  • Add the egg yolks and vanilla, mixing well.
  • In a seperate bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking powder.
  • Blend the dry ingredients and milk alternately into the butter mixture.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set aside.
  • With clean beaters, whip the egg whites, adding the 1 cup of sugar a little at a time, until stiff peaks form.
  • Spoon the egg whites over the top of the unbaked batter and sprinkle with walnuts (whole or pieces).
  • Bake at 325F about 40 minutes or until cake tests done (cooking time will depend on your oven and pan size).
  • *Using the parchment paper will allow you to easily lift the torte from the pan to test for doneness by piercing through the bottom of the cake with a toothpick.
  • Cool the torte completely.
  • Whip the cream and sweeten to taste.
  • *You can substitute the cream with Cool Whip (or other) to lessen the calories and fat.
  • Top off the torte with the whipped cream just before serving, adding whole (or cut) strawberries as your final layer.
  • This torte should be made and enjoyed on the same day as the cream will soften the crispy meringue layer - still good but not the same!

AUSTRIAN STRAWBERRY TORTE



Austrian Strawberry Torte image

This elegant looking fruit torte is one of the recipes that a family member brought back after a stay in Germany, where strawberry season sees these cakes in all the bakeries and cafes. Thanks to her grandmother we enjoy this marvellous dessert that never fails to please. In the off season I drain canned peaches and arrange the slices making for a impressive looking dessert when fresh strawberries are not available. The original recipe calls for a package of Oetker glaze which I am not finding this past while - any of the clear fruit glaze mixes will work.

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups flour
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup icing (approximately I/2 cup white icing, enough to lightly cover base)
1 1/2 lbs strawberries (enough to generously cover cake)
glaze (clear glaze, mix as directed on package)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350, grease flan pan, flour to keep from sticking - I use cooking spray to grease pan.
  • Beat sugar and eggs until fluffy, add butter, salt, baking powder, and vanilla - mix well.
  • Alternately add flour and milk.
  • Spread into a flan pan, bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and centre is firm to the touch.
  • Carefully remove from pan, cool on cake rack,when cool place cake on your special serving platter, ice bottom lightly using just enough to seal the cake, give it a few minutes to dry before adding the fruit.
  • Arrange strawberries ( I cut the strawberries in half arranging concentrically starting at the edge - for variation make a 'strawberry flower' in the centre using about five strawberry halves then arrange the rest of the berries around to the edge) you may go with halving, slicing or whole berries when arranging your fruit - whatever works best for you .
  • Prepare glaze according to directions cooling slightly and pour over.
