  • For the strawberry compote, cook the strawberries with the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and hydrated cornstarch in a small pot for 30 minutes, or until it thickens. Set aside and let cool.
  • For the dough, mix flour, salt, sugar, shortening, butter, and pink food coloring in a mixer with a paddle attachment, add the yolks, cold water, and beat until the dough turns pink. Set aside.
  • Cover the surface of the mold with the rolled-out dough and press with your fingers to form the base of the cake. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • Fill the cake with the strawberry compote.
  • Roll out the remaining dough to make the top, use a heart-shaped mold, and cut the dough in the center, cover the cake with the heart-shaped top, seal with egg, and shape the edges of the cake, remove the excess dough, brush with egg, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 30 minutes at 180 °C.
