German Strawberry Tart / Erdbeer Tortenboden

"Found on Tasty-german-reciipe.com to use during ZWT 6 and during our bumper crop of home-grown strawberries. This is a spongcake sort of dish underneath with strawberries and glaze on top. I envision a bit of whipped cream for to topping too, just to make it even more decadent. Because this dessert really spolights the strawberries, I recommend only making this when strawneeries are in season. And if you can find a friendly neighbor with a strawberry patch - more's the better! You can do this with small whole berries too for a breathtaking presentation."

directions

  • Grease an 8 inch (20cm) raised-based flan tin. Sprinkle over 2 tsp sugar and tilt to coat evenly. Add 1 level tsp flour and coat similarly, knocking out any excess.
  • Place the eggs and remaining sugar in a deep bowl and whisk until the mixture is very thick. Sift the flour over the surface of the mixture. Fold in gently with a metal spoon, then turn into the prepared tin and tilt to level the surface.
  • Place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 180 degrees C for 20-25 minutes until the sponge springs back when pressed lightly. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
  • Arrange the sliced fruit in the flan case. Put the strawberry jam and 1 tbsp water in a small saucepan and heat gently together until liquid. Cool a little then brush over the fruit.

  1. I tried this recipe and it did not become thick or even cover the center of the flan pan. I found another flan case recipe that had added butter to it. With the added butter, the cake batter was thick, fluffy, and covered the entire pan. I did enjoy the strawberry topping.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

40-something wife and Mom who's biggest kick is cookin' cheap and flavorful. A day of frugal living is only fun if you have a good dinner after! I tend not to post my recipes because I cook by the seat of my pants. No, not *on* the seat... I cook with what's available and draw liberally from my spice carousel. Just spin that thing like the money wheel on "The Price is Right"! My friend says I should open a restuarant. We've decided to call it "Whatchagot Cafe". <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/tisht/tish3.jpg" border="0" alt="Recipezaar Challenge 2008"></a> <img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/cookbookswapspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u232/wahm_coder/daffies1-1.jpg" > <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
