Инструкции

  1. With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter an 18 x 13-inch (46 x 33 cm) baking sheet and line with a strip of parchment paper, letting it hang over two sides.
  2. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until the mixture is pale, tripled in volume and falls from the beaters in a ribbon, about 10 minutes. Drizzle in the oil.
  4. Sift the dry ingredients over the egg mixture and gently fold in using a spatula or whisk. Spread the mixture out evenly on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.

The fraisier is a summer classic for Ricardo. It’s a cake of French origin made with two layers of vanilla Genoise cake, filled with strawberries and buttercream, and then topped with a coloured almond paste. It’s delightfully rich and delicious.
