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.

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.

SUMMER BERRY GRIESTORTE

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

Air Fryer Strawberry Mango Bundt Cake

Try this delicious strawberry & mango bundt cake that has strawberries & mango pieces in the sponge, as well as mango extract in the glaze!

But it doesn’t stop there. This bundt cake is topped with a glaze that is a lovely shade of pink. This achieved by using the strawberry liquid, collected after macerating the strawberries.

And the cherry on the cake (so to speak), is that it can be baked in a small basket air fryer! Go to Air Fryer Strawberry Mango Bundt.

STRAWBERRY REDUCTION – A Concentrated Puree For Baking

My lesson on making a concentrated strawberry puree (also known as a strawberry reduction), to produce a deeper flavour and colour, than a simple puree. Use in your buttercream, as just one example.
