How to Make Austrian Strawberry Torte

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch flan pan (or use cooking spray).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (200g) sugar and 4 large eggs until light and fluffy. Beat in 1/2 cup (115g) softened unsalted butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. Gradually add 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour and 1 cup (240ml) milk alternately to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared flan pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges pull away from the sides of the pan.
  5. Carefully remove the torte from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, transfer the torte to a serving platter. Lightly ice the bottom of the cake with a clear fruit glaze to seal it. Let it set for a few minutes before adding the fruit.
  7. Arrange fresh strawberries (halved, sliced, or whole) or sliced canned peaches attractively over the iced cake.
  8. Prepare a clear fruit glaze according to package directions. Let it cool slightly before carefully pouring it over the arranged fruit. Allow the glaze to set completely before serving.
