Directions

1
For the shortcrust pastry base, knead all ingredients with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to a smooth dough. Cover and chill for about 30 minutes. Grease a fruit cake tin (26 cm Ø), press the dough into it and prick it several times with a fork.
2
Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for 15-20 minutes. Remove the base from the mould and allow to cool completely. Soak gelatine in cold water. Whip cream until stiff.
3
Stir marzipan and lemon juice until smooth. Add quark, vanilla sugar and bitter almond flavour and stir in. Dissolve gelatine at low heat and stir into the marzipan quark. Fold in the cream and spread on the fruitcake base.
4
Wash, clean and halve the strawberries. Spread on the cream. Mix cake glaze and sugar in a pot. Add 1/4 litre of cold water little by little. Bring to the boil while stirring, let it cool down for about 1 minute and pour over the strawberries from the middle.
5
Let the glaze set for about 2 hours. Coat half of the meringue tuffs with melted chocolate coating as desired. Decorate the cake shortly before serving with the meringue tuffs and mint leaves.
