Strawberry Almond Fondant

by Michaela

And here we go with another upside-down cake, inspired by the French recipes. After the Renversed Almond Cake with Nectarines I come with a Strawberry fondant. It is a delicious cake baked upside down. Strawberries cooked shortly with sugar come to the bottom of the baking pan, covered by the almond and whipped-eggs based dough. The cake is so moist and so good that you really need to try it! 🙂

As written already a few days ago in my recipe post for a creamy fruit smoothie Strawberry Dream, I had a strawberry “harvest” at home. Well, when I say “harvest”, I mean I bought quite a lot on the market (as myself and garden have never worked (yet) ;). I bought them for smoothies, but when we went for a dinner to a friend’s place, I wanted to bring something with me, so I decided to bake this Strawberry Almond Fondant.
