Strawberry Gateau Recipe

A photo step-by-step cooking guide for my Strawberry Gateau recipe.

Before I start on this post, I must make you aware that this strawberry gateau is totally addictive ! ..So for this Fathers Day, I wanted to cook a nice dessert for my wonderful husband.

All my family ate this delicious "strawberry gateau recipe" up in one go and there was not a crumb or smear of cream left on the plate...it was so very tasty.

I use thick clotted cream and freshly sliced strawberries between each layer of the gateau; then sprinkle it with "praline sugared almonds" that I cooked the same day.

(My praline recipe is to be updated very soon- keep logging on..if you have ever wanted to make a praline recipe then this post will be for you.. !).

The scent of the gateau mixture is like a fragrance of a tasty gourmet strawberry ice cream, the taste of my strawberry gateau recipe is amazing as it was so very moist and will melt in the mouth; it is of a soft fluffy texture and the taste is wonderful, the flavours and textures are such a fantastic combination and finished with praline sugared almonds made it very divine.

How to make my step-by-step Strawberry Gateau Recipe


Place the caster sugar and margarine into a bowl and mix well.

Add the egg and vanilla, mix well.



Add a heaped tablespoon of corn meal flour and 1 tablespoon of ground almonds.

Mix well.

Once cooked take a flat spatula and carefully loosen the cooked gateau mixture from the tray.

Dust with powdered sugar, cover a chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

This gives the cream chance to set again.
