Strawberry Stracciatella Cake from the Thermomix
A summery strawberry stracciatella cake, made entirely with the Thermomix: the strawberry filling is cooked in the mixing bowl, the stracciatella cream is whipped stiff with the butterfly whisk, and everything is layered between three soaked sponge bases. Needs some chilling time, but always turns out.
