We are accustomed to the fact that for the easter cake you have to knead the dough for a long time, and then bake it. And it often happens that the mass does not rise, comes out clogged. So if you don't want to take care of all that, you can make a simple and very effective curd pastry with strawberries - you just need to put it in the fridge for a few hours.
