Ingredients
- Wheat Flour 3 cups

- Sugar 5 oz
- Agar-Agar 5 teaspoons

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Mix softened butter with sugar and baking soda (dissolved in vinegar or lemon juice), gradually adding flour (about 2.5 cups). The mixture should form a greasy, non-crumbly dough.
Step 2
Divide the dough into two equal parts and spread each part at the bottom of a baking pan (I used a 21 cm diameter pan) and bake 2 layers. Let cool.
Step 3
Place the mint in a food processor and add a little sour cream. Blend thoroughly. Transfer the mint mixture to a blender.
Step 4
Combine the mint mixture in a pot with the remaining sour cream and sugar, then add agar-agar.
Step 5
Over medium heat, stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 6
Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Lay the berries on a towel and let them dry a bit.
Step 7
Cut a few of the largest berries in half vertically.
Step 8
Wrap the ring of a springform pan with plastic wrap. I used a plastic trivet. Place the first layer at the bottom and arrange the halved strawberries around the edge with the cut side facing out.
Step 9
Whip the slightly cooled (but still warm) cream with a mixer.
Step 10
Spread a few tablespoons of cream over the layer.
Step 11
Place the remaining strawberries on the layer and pour cream over them, reserving 3-4 tablespoons for the top layer. Assemble the cake.
Step 12
Cover with the second layer and press it down well.
Step 13
Spread the remaining cream on top.
Step 14
Refrigerate the cake for about 3 hours.
Step 15
Once the mousse has set, remove the ring. Transfer the Fraisier cake to a serving plate and decorate as desired. I decorated it with grated cocoa and strawberries.
