Shortbread cake with bananas and strawberries
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The shortbread cake with bananas and strawberries is made with a minimum of ingredients. Preparation: In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar. Add chopped margarine and rub into a crumbly consistency. Knead the dough, gradually adding water (4–5 tablespoons total), thoroughly mixing after each addition. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Preheat the oven. Roll out the chilled dough into rectangular layers. Bake the layers in the oven for 15 minutes until golden brown. Let the baked layers cool. Chop the strawberries, reserving a few berries for decoration. Mix the chopped strawberries with 3 tablespoons of sugar in a saucepan and cook over low heat. Slice 2 bananas into thin pieces and mix with the strawberries. Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread the strawberry-banana filling over it, then add a layer of custard cream. Place the second cake layer on top and spread it with custard cream. Slice the remaining banana into thin pieces and use to decorate the cake. Top with reserved strawberries. Cut the cake into pieces and serve chilled.
