The new Barbie movie is working overtime, and that's why we're joining the hype with this pink, airy strawberry cake. And when you think of Barbie, you think of a sweet, yet light cake that is not too heavy on the stomach. And it's an excuse to use those delicious Dutch strawberries!
8 servings
25 min. + 40 min. oven time
Ingredients:
325 grams strawberries, stems removed and halved lengthwise
150 grams + 1½ tbsp SweetLife Xylitol
5 eggs
1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
3-6 drops of red food coloring
160 grams + 1½ tbsp flour
SweetLife Powder Erythritol
Also necessary:
24 cm springform pan
Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease a 24 cm springform pan and line with baking paper. Place the strawberries in a sieve, sprinkle with 1½ tbsp xylitol and set aside so that the strawberries absorb the xylitol.
2. Place the eggs, 150 grams of xylitol and ⅛ tsp salt in a large, heatproof bowl and mix with a hand mixer for a few seconds. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and beat for 3-5 minutes until a light yellow and slightly thickened mousse.
3. Remove the bowl from the pan, add the lemon zest and 3-6 drops of food coloring (enough for a Barbie pink color) and beat for another 3 minutes.
4. Sift and fold 160 grams of flour into the cream in parts without knocking out the air. Toss the sweetened strawberries with 1½ tbsp flour and spread over the bottom of the springform pan. Spoon the batter on top.
5. Bake the cake for about 40 minutes. A skewer will then come out dry from the cake.
6. When the cake has cooled completely, remove the cake from the springform pan and turn it over onto a plate. Sprinkle the cake with the Erythritol Powder.
