Yield: 20
Ingredients: 5 eggs; 150 g granulated sugar; 130 g plain flour; 20 g cocoa powder; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 1 package (40 g) vanilla pudding powder; 300 ml milk; 3 tablespoons granulated sugar; 100 g softened butter; approx. 400 g fresh strawberries (halved); 1 packet of red strawberry gelatin

Preparation procedure

Preparing the batter Preheat the oven to 170 °C (convection 150 °C). Beat the eggs with the sugar until light and fluffy. Gently fold in the oil, sifted flour and cocoa until you get a smooth batter. Pour it onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper (25×35 cm) and bake for 10–12 minutes.
Vanilla cream In a saucepan, mix the pudding powder and sugar into 100 ml of cold milk. Bring the remaining 200 ml to a boil, stir in the pudding mixture and cook for 2–3 minutes until thickened. After the pudding has cooled slightly, gradually beat in the softened butter until a cream forms.
Layering Spread the cooled chocolate batter with the vanilla cream. Firmly arrange the strawberry halves on top, cut side down.
Gelatin layer Prepare the gelatin according to the instructions on the package (in hot water or part of the juice), let it cool slightly but not set, then gently pour it over the strawberries so that it covers them.
Chilling and cutting Place the slices in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until the gelatin is completely set. Cut into 20–24 pieces.
