150 ml (⅔ cup) water

🍪 For the Crumble Dough:

2 egg yolks
60 g (¼ cup) sugar
350 g (2¾ cups) all-purpose flour
10 g (2 tsp) baking powder
160 g (⅔ cup) cold butter, cubed

🧁 For the Yogurt Cream:

500 g (2 cups) Greek yogurt
50 g (4 tbsp) cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 egg whites
A pinch of salt
130 g (⅔ cup) sugar

🧂 Also Needed:

20 cm (8-inch) round cake pan, greased
Oven preheated to 180°C (350°F)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Strawberry Filling

In a medium saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and water.
Simmer over medium heat until the strawberries begin to soften.
Dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of water and stir it into the pot.
Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a jam-like texture.
Set aside to cool completely.

2. Prepare the Crumble Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar.
Add the flour and baking powder, gently mixing.
Add the cold, cubed butter and use your hands or a pastry cutter to blend until a crumbly dough forms. Set aside.

3. Whip Up the Yogurt Cream

In one bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until frothy. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yogurt mixture. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.

4. Assemble the Cake

Press half of the crumble dough firmly into the bottom of your greased cake pan.
Pour the yogurt cream over the base and smooth it out.
Spoon the cooled strawberry filling evenly on top.
Sprinkle the remaining crumble dough across the top like a crisp layer.

5. Bake & Cool

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Allow to cool completely before slicing for clean, delicious layers.
