Recipe for quick shortcrust pastry with pudding and strawberries
Today I invite you to try this amazing shortcrust pastry with strawberries and vanilla pudding. I baked my strawberry cake in a large baking pan, so I could divide it into many portions. The preparation of the cake itself is very simple and does not require a mixer. You can knead the shortcrust pastry by chopping it with a knife or fork, then add cooked pudding and delicious, fresh strawberries. Such a shortcrust pastry with pudding and fruit will be perfect for the weekend, but you can also serve it as a dessert at a barbecue. Thanks to the combination of universal flavors, the pudding cake can also be served at various family celebrations – because it’s a perfect cake for children and adults.

Shortcrust pastry with strawberries and pudding – notes
Strawberry season is slowly starting, and I can’t wait for our Polish strawberries. For now, I’m using what’s available and baking various cakes. This time I made this delicious shortcrust cake with strawberries and vanilla pudding. The cake is light and, as you can see from the calories – low-calorie, you could say it’s a fit cake with strawberries and pudding :)
Earlier, I baked us shortcrust pastry with strawberries and rhubarb and we loved it. This version of the cake with pudding is just as delicious and I can recommend it wholeheartedly!
Can you make shortcrust pastry with frozen strawberries?
Fresh strawberries are quite readily available now, so it’s worth using them, as they are much tastier than frozen ones. After the season, you can make this cake with frozen strawberries. However, I recommend thawing them first and draining excess juice in a sieve.
Besides, you can also make this pudding cake with other seasonal fruits. Then, you can bake shortcrust pastry with fruit and pudding practically all year round. Blueberries, raspberries, or our Polish wild berries would work great here, for example. If you like peaches, they’ll also be super – just dice them and sprinkle them over the pudding.
Cake with strawberries, pudding and jelly
If you want to make a more interesting strawberry cake with jelly, you can use this recipe. In that case, use the entire shortcrust pastry for the base and bake it with just the pudding. Then, arrange fresh strawberries on the baked cake and pour setting strawberry jelly over them. Additionally, place the cake form in the refrigerator for the jelly to set completely.
What kind of pudding for strawberry cake?
I highly recommend vanilla or cream pudding here. I had pudding with sugar already added, so I didn’t add sugar to the pudding I was preparing. If you have sugar-free pudding (look for pudding to prepare with 500 ml of milk), you must add sugar during preparation. You can also prepare this cake with strawberries and strawberry pudding or another flavor. It depends on your taste preferences.
How many calories does shortcrust pastry with pudding and strawberries have?
In the table below the recipe, I provided the caloric value and nutritional components for 100g of the cake. If you divide the cake into 24 roughly equal pieces, each will have about 169 calories (carbohydrates – 16g, protein 3g, fats – 8g). So, as I wrote earlier, it’s a fit cake with strawberries and pudding :) You can eat it without guilt :)
