"An easy, breezy strawberry cake that all ages will love! Mixing simple vanilla pudding powder with whipped cream creates a creme patissiere-like filling without the fuss and the cloud-like texture is the perfect foil for the crunchy, almondy baked base. Take time to create the strawberry pattern by starting around the outer edge and spiralling your way to the middle. You can garnish the tart with lemon zest or even herbs like lemon balm. Have fun!"
