  2. Pour the batter into the pan and bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for about one hour.
  3. When it has cooled, spread whipped cream over all sides of the cake and coat the sides with ground almonds. Add food coloring to the fondant and shape flowers to decorate the top. Arrange plenty of sliced strawberries over the surface and drizzle a little chocolate sauce.
