Equipment

  • 1 12 x 16 in. baking sheet

Ingredients
  

For the batter:

  • tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup lukewarm milk
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
  • cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup softened butter

For the topping:

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • ¼ cup sugar for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk.
  • Add the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, egg, and softened butter to a mixing bowl. Pour in the yeast mixture and knead everything into a smooth dough.
  • Let the dough rise, covered, in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has visibly increased in volume.
  • Wash and hull the strawberries, then quarter them.
  • On a floured work surface, usea rolling pin to roll out the dough. Make it roughly the same size as your baking sheet. Carefully place it on the sheet.
  • Spread the strawberries evenly over the dough.
  • Dot the dough with small pieces of butter and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Dust the cake with sugar.
  • Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Let the cake cool completely after baking and then serve it, for example, with a scoop of ice cream.
