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. Serve and enjoy with coffee.
