7 oz almond paste

3 eggs

0.4 cup sugar

0.6 cup flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

2 gelatin sheets

or 1 teaspoon gelatin powder

Finely grate the almond paste. Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy. Mix flour and baking powder and stir this into the batter together with almond paste. Pour in a greased, floured pie pan, diameter approx 11 inches. Bake for about 15 minutes and allow to cool.

Take up the gelatin sheets and melt in a saucepan together with 2 tablespoons of the creme. Blend this into the remaining creme. Pour in the pan and top with strawberries.
