Fraisier
Fraisier is a classic French cake that is traditionally made with strawberries, génoise sponge cake, and crème mousseline. The name "Fraisier" is derived from the French word "fraise," which means strawberry. This dessert is known for its elegant presentation and delicious combination of flavors and textures.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The main components of a Fraisier cake include:
- Génoise sponge cake: A light and airy sponge cake that serves as the base and top layer of the cake.
- Crème mousseline: A rich and creamy filling made by combining pastry cream with butter.
- Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are used both inside the cake and as a decorative element on top.
- Marzipan: A thin layer of marzipan is often used to cover the top of the cake, adding a sweet almond flavor.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The preparation of a Fraisier cake involves several steps: 1. Baking the génoise sponge cake: The sponge cake is baked in a round cake pan and then sliced horizontally to create two layers. 2. Making the crème mousseline: The pastry cream is prepared and then whipped with butter to create a smooth and creamy filling. 3. Assembling the cake: One layer of the génoise sponge cake is placed at the bottom of a cake ring. The sides of the ring are lined with halved strawberries, with the cut sides facing outwards. The crème mousseline is then spread over the sponge cake and strawberries, filling the gaps between the strawberries. The second layer of sponge cake is placed on top, and the cake is chilled to set. 4. Decorating the cake: The top of the cake is covered with a thin layer of marzipan, and additional strawberries or other decorations are added as desired.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While the traditional Fraisier cake is made with strawberries, variations can include other fruits such as raspberries, blueberries, or mango. Some recipes may also incorporate different flavors into the crème mousseline, such as vanilla, lemon, or pistachio.
