How to make easy square berry pie
First of all we prepare the berries. With a single ingredient we get: liquid for the bath, coloring for the cream, and the filling.
In a saucepan, pour the berries, fresh or frozen, add the lemon juice, sugar and a sachet of vanillin, put on the fire and leave to cook for 5 minutes while stirring.
We turn off the heat and with a colander we separate the berries from the juice by arranging them in another bowl, add the water to the juice to lengthen it and mix.
We prepare the sponge cake for the square cake
Instead of using the classic baking tray we need a square baking sheet and we get the thin sponge cake without having to cut the cake. My pan is 35 × 35 cm.
In a bowl we pour the eggs and blend with the electric mixer, add the sugar, then the flour little by little, and half a sachet of yeast.
Pour the mixture onto the baking tray covered with parchment paper and level the surface well with a spatula.
Bake at 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes in a static oven. When it is ready, remove it from the pan and turn it upside down on a sheet of clean parchment paper. Gently peel off the sheet we had in the oven. We therefore have a flat and square sponge cake.
Now, helping with a ruler to find half the square, we cut it into 4 equal parts.
We prepare the berry filling for the square birthday cake
Whip the whipped cream already sweetened in a large bowl, in another bowl soften the mascarpone and add a part of the liquid to the berries. We blend everything and when it is mixed add the whipped cream a little at a time continuing to blend. We see that the cream takes on a beautiful violet color! Let's add a little more juice if we want a more intense color.
Now let's assemble the square cake !!!
We put the first layer, we wet it and then we pour two or three spoons of cream, we add 2 spoons of berries and we pass to the second layer. We go on like this until the fourth layer, on which we pour a little bit of water.
We take other cream and spread it over the whole cake, with a knife we try to level it in order to follow the square shape and make the cake smooth. With the advanced cream we fill the pastry bag and make little roses.
I chose not to fill it all but to make only a few roses, because I want you to see the square part, then I add some berries on the surface! I would say that we made a super cake !!!
The filling is soft and irresistible, in this recipe I chose the berries but we can take advantage of this technique for any type of cake, it can be made with chocolate, hazelnut, lemon pistachio !!! Let me know what you think! Send me all your photos of this square cake, or rather clever cake !!!
