Strawberry Recipes

By Caro

So there really is a ‘Day’ for every type of food or bake. You just have to Google it 🙂 So in honour of STRAWBERRY DAY I have listed below all the recipes involving strawberries in some way. Further down, I have also added some recipes with other fruits, that would work well with strawberries as a substitution.

Strawberries, raspberry & cherries with yoghurt.

Not Just A Summer Fruit

Contrary to common believe, strawberries are not a summer fruit. With there being over 100 species and subspecies, as well as being in season at different times, in different cities and countries, they are in season longer than we think.

SUMMERBERRY GRIESTORTE

Try my fruit covered Genoise cream cake, that is so simple to make. Make a smaller or taller cake & decorate how you wish.

STRAWBERRY VICTORIA SANDWICH CAKE

This recipe has a raspberry jam swirl through the sponge, but you could easily use strawberry jam and decorate with fresh strawberries and cream like in the photo.

STRAWBERRY PUREE & STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM

This is my friend Robyn’s recipe for making your own strawberry puree which you can then make into a strawberry buttercream. Here she paired it with the same chocolate layer cake, and added fresh strawberries as decoration.
