I love strawberries and I love pies so I believe I would love this kuchen. However, I have an huge amount of kiwis in my kitchen, waiting to be used in some delightful dessert, and I wonder if this kuchen would also work well with them, what do you think?

Congratulations for SND! And Foodgawker… and Craftgawker!

absolutely fabulous.
just tried it last night to use up a few fresh strawberries … and ate some for breakfast as well …

(what? it’s healthier than a chocolate bar!)

tracie,
i agree, it’s hard to beat the blueberry kuchen. as for the strawberry kuchen, we didn’t have any problems with the uncooked fruit holding up, but we did let the pie cool before placing them on top. anyway, glad you are trying out so many recipes!

I also made this strawberry kuchen this past weekend (along with the blueberry muffins) and I have to admit that I like the muffins better (but the blueberry kuchen the best). I don’t know if it were the extreme heat on Saturday but after I placed the uncooked strawberries on the baked product, it seemed to look like it was macerating in the juices. By the time Eric got home from work (about an hour later), the strawberries were shriveled and the crust became soggy with strawberry juice. I don’t know if I should have waited to put the remaining strawberries on top but after making the blueberry kuchen, I noticed that if I placed them on while it was still hot, the gelatinous mixture would adhere to the uncooked blueberries better. What do you think?

First off, this kuchen looks delicious! I am going to make it next Tuesday for our monthly CAKE club at work… some people have sort of been getting more than their fill of chocolate recently (I know – of all the things to complain about) so I thought I would mix things up and this looks perfect. Can’t wait to try it!
Second – am I the only one who noticed the hint of photography magic in the slideshow abow? I think it is so cool that once you click on the big photo at the very top, all you need to do is hit the arrow keys to move the pictures… and slides 7,8, and 9 are cool – it’s like time elapsed photography with some sort of strawberry elf intervening in between photos – very cool!
Thanks very much and a big growl to hungry bear :)

Annie, using frozen strawberries would be perfectly fine for the filling part, but I'm not so sure how the kuchen would look with frozen berries on top. Nicole, thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing your strawberry ice cream post. WANF, thanks so much! Barbara, I'm glad you liked the recipe!
