PREPARATION

"CHEESE STYLE" CAKE:

  1. Preheat the oven to 165 °C (325 °F).
  2. Oil a 23-cm (9-inch) springform pan and place parchment paper on the bottom only.
  3. Grind the almonds (or other nuts) in a food processor (more or less finely, depending on taste). In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the crust. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake on the central oven rack for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
  5. In the blender, combine all the cake topping ingredients together and reduce until smooth and even.
  6. Pour the mixture into the mold. Place it on a baking sheet and bake on the central rack for 60 minutes.
  7. Let the cake cool on a wire rack at room temperature, without unmolding it.
  8. Cool completely in the refrigerator, then top with the strawberry filling. When ready to serve, run a knife blade between the cake and the mold to unmold it.

STRAWBERRY TOPPING:

  1. Bring the strawberries and maple syrup to a boil and add the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk until thickened.
  2. Let cool completely in the refrigerator.
