Ingredients: Strawberry shortcake

Base:
200 g sugar
1 packet vanilla sugar
220 g softened butter
300 g flour
1 packet baking powder
40 g cocoa powder
a little salt
5 eggs

Mascarpone cream:
80 g of sugar
450 g of mascarpone
300 g of skimmed cottage cheese
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
2 sachets of vanilla sugar

Topping:
450 ml water (boiling)
750 g strawberries
2 packets strawberry flavored cake frosting

Preparation: Strawberry cake

First preheat the oven to 185 C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

1. Then, mix the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and a little salt well with the mixer, then add the eggs one by one, stirring well after each addition.
2. Now mix the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder and sift it over the dough. Using the spatula, add the flour mixture. Now spread the dough slowly and evenly onto the prepared baking sheet with a spatula and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes.
   Now we take the dough out of the oven and let it cool completely.
3. Now mix the mascarpone, 2 packets of vanilla sugar, the skimmed cottage cheese, 80 g of sugar and the lemon juice until it forms a cream and spread it on the well-chilled base. Wash, clean and cut the strawberries in half. Carefully place them on the cream layer and press them lightly.
4. Now comes the cake glaze: put the cake glaze in a bowl, pour 450 ml of boiling water on top and stir with a mixer for at least two or three minutes. Now spread the cake frosting evenly over the strawberries with a spoon.
5. Finally, let the cake glaze sit for 40 minutes to 1 hour and then cut the cake into pieces and serve. It tastes excellent!
