Prepare the pastry cream following our instructions.
Clean strawberries, wash under running water quickly, pat dry with absorbent kitchen paper and plunge them in white wine for few minutes. Then slice them and put apart.
Prepare your dessert. You can use plum cakes or sherbets (sponge biscuits). Half biscuits lengthways or slice plum cakes crossways. Arrange slices on the bottom of the deep dish in which you want to prepare the cake. Water down 4 tablespoons Marsala (Sicilian fortified wine) and soak the plum cake or sherbet slices with it. Cover with pastry cream and prepare another layer with the plum cakes or sherbets. Soak this layer too and cover with pastry cream. At this point sweeten the strawberries with icing sugar and arrange them on the surface of your dessert according to your fancy.
Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
This is a do-ahead cake.
