Instructions
Step 1
Make a dough. Beat eggs with sugar, add kefir and softened butter, continuing to beat, gradually add flour with baking powder. Grease a baking dish with butter and flour. You can immediately divide the dough into pieces and bake the individual cakes at 180 ° C. It is also possible to use ready-made biscuit cakes.
Step 2
Wash the strawberries, pat dry and cut each berry in half lengthwise. Dissolve the gelatin in boiled water and a bag of strawberry jelly. Heat to dissolve completely, add rum and cool.
Step 3
Cover the raspberries with sugar, heat over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, stirring constantly. Then rub through a sieve. Whisk the icing sugar into the cream and stir in the ricotta gently.
Step 4
Prepare a split form (without sides) and cover the bottom with cling film or parchment. Place the first cake in the center, brush it with 1/3 of the raspberry puree and spread the cream - 1/3, cover with the next cake and repeat the steps, cover with the third cake and brush only with the raspberry puree.
Step 5
Put the open sides for the form on the cake and in the resulting gap between the cake and the side of the form, lay out the first row of strawberry halves with a cut to the cake and tails down, placing them tightly to each other. Then pour a little jelly over the strawberries with a spoon all around the circle. Place the cake in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Then pour the jelly almost to the top of the strawberries and let it freeze.
Step 6
Lay out the second row of strawberries, tails up, placing them in between the berries on the bottom layer. Pour the jelly to the top of the cake. Wait for it to freeze. Decorate the cake by placing the remaining cream in a piping bag. Place the strawberries in the middle. Refrigerate the cake for 1-2 hours.
