Description

Strawberry custard cake is a special, original dessert that stands apart from all others. Chances are you've never tried anything like this before! The technology for making the cake is not too complicated, but rather intricate: custard is laid out on a shortcrust pastry cake and only then everything is baked together in the oven. But the miracles don't end there! Do you remember how the texture of choux pastry products (profiteroles, eclairs) differs from all others? That's right: they have large cavities inside! Here we fill them with delicate sour cream. As a result, such a custard cake with strawberries is born into the world - mysterious, refined and very tasty!
