STRAWBERRY CAKE WITH ELDERBERRY FROMAGE

Jordgubbstårta med fläderfromage

1 cake, 10 pieces

3 cake layers, ready-made

or home-baked, or 1 whole

cake that you split yourself

Elderberry fromage:

5 gelatin sheets or

2½ teaspoons gelatin powder

0.4 cup concentrated

elderberry drink

1.2 cup heavy cream

3 egg yolks

3 tablespoons sugar

Filling:

0.3 cup strawberries

0.2 cup concentrated

elderberry drink

Decoration:

1.8 cups heavy cream

strawberries

Elderberry fromage:

Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes, or do as you normally do with the powder. Heat 0.2 cup of the elderberry drink in a saucepan. Remove from heat and let the gelatin melt in the drink. Add remaining drink and allow to cool. Beat the cream in a bowl. Beat egg yolks and sugar in another bowl. Add the melted gelatin to the egg yolk batter in a narrow but steady stream. Gently stir the cream into the mixture. Leave to set in the fridge until it's spreadable.

Filling:

Slice the strawberries. Split the cake in 3 layers if you haven't already bought it in layers. Brush the layers with elderberry drink. Divide strawberries evenly over the first layer. Cover with fromage. Place the second layer on top and repeat the filling. Finish with the third layer. Wrap up in plastic and leave the cake in the fridge for at least 4 hours, so that the fromage sets properly. 

Spread whipped cream around the cake and decorate with piped cream in a nice pattern, and strawberries.

Enjoy!
