how to cook French Strawberry Crumble Cake Clafoutis?

STEP 1

To begin, preheat the oven to 200°C (400⁰F). Start by washing the strawberries and cutting off the stems. Coarsely chop the strawberries and set them aside.

TIPS: If fresh strawberries are not available, frozen ones can be used instead. Just make sure to roll them in flour to avoid any unwanted moisture in your dough.

STEP 2

In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt, and give it a good stir.

STEP 3

In a separate large bowl, place the eggs and egg whites. Add sugar to the eggs and beat with a mixer until it becomes a fluffy pale mass.

STEP 4

Gradually add the flour mixture into the egg-sugar mixture. Slowly pour the milk while mixing at a low speed with the mixer until the dough becomes smooth.

STEP 5

In another medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt.

STEP 6

Add the egg yolks to the flour mixture and pour in the melted butter. Mix everything with a fork until it becomes crumbly.

TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well! But keep in mind that margarine contains salt. So, you might want to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. Just a little heads up!

TIPS: Melt your butter either on the stove or in the microwave – whichever is more convenient for you.

STEP 7

Take a 18cm round ceramic pan and grease it with butter. Place half of the strawberries at the bottom of the prepared pan.

TIPS: For baking clafoutis, use a low baking dish. If you’re using a taller baking dish, you’ll need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.

TIPS: When making clafoutis, look for a glass or ceramic baking dish. Metal baking tin can cause the berries in the cake to oxidize.

STEP 8

Carefully pour the dough on top of the strawberries.

STEP 9

Put the pan with the dough into the preheated oven at 200°C (400⁰F) and bake for 20 minutes.

STEP 10

Once done, remove the cake from the oven.

STEP 11

Now, place the remaining strawberries on top of the baked dough.

STEP 12

Sprinkle the crumble topping on top of the strawberries.

STEP 13

Return the pan to the oven, still preheated to 200°C (400⁰F). And bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the cake turns golden brown.

STEP 14

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly.

STEP 15

Sprinkle the finished cake with powdered sugar and decorate it with strawberries.

STEP 16

Finally, cut French Strawberry Crumble Cake Clafoutis into equal piecies and serve it with a cup of tea. Enjoy your meal!
