Take advantage of the season: a quick pastry that combines fresh strawberries and jam
Spring and the beginning of summer bring one of the most popular seasonal ingredients – sweet, juicy and fragrant strawberries. They are perfect not only for fresh consumption, but also for making simple homemade desserts.
It is a dessert that impresses with its softness, light texture and distinct fruity character. The strawberries provide freshness and a slight acidity, while the jam adds a pleasant sweetness and extra juiciness. The pastry is just compact enough to cut into pieces, but at the same time it is juicy and light enough to melt in your mouth.
What makes this recipe so special is its versatility – you can make it in a round or oblong baking dish, depending on the occasion or preference. It goes perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea, as well as a refreshing glass of elderberry juice, making it suitable for everyday indulgence or casual get-togethers.
Basic ingredients that you probably already have on hand:
- fresh strawberries
- strawberry jam (or other jam of your choice)
- gladka moka
- sugar
- eggs
- oil or melted butter
- baking powder
- milk or yogurt
Preparation is quick and easy
Preparing the pastry is simple and suitable even for less experienced cooks. First, prepare the base mass by mixing eggs, sugar and fat, then add milk or yoghurt. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients, which are gradually mixed into the wet mixture to obtain a smooth dough.
Pour the prepared mixture into a baking dish and spread the jam on top. Mix gently to create a beautiful marbled pattern. Arrange the sliced strawberries in circles on top. Bake in a preheated oven for half an hour. The flavors blend beautifully during baking, giving the cake a golden brown crust and a heady fruity aroma.
Once baked, cool slightly, then sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, cut into pieces and serve.
