When mature strawberries begin to smell remotely and rhubarb is fresh and fragile at the stalls, it is the right time for dessert that combines the best of both. And if you throw a pinch of thyme, herbs that smell after summer and the sun, there is a magic that you want to taste.
When the sweet juiciness of fresh strawberries is joined, the fresh sourdough of rhubarb and an unexpected aromatic touch of thyme is a combination that is no mistake. Exactly this taste experience promises a cake that deserves the designation of the “strawberry sky in his mouth”. It is nothing difficult – just a sophisticated combination of seasonal ingredients that complement each other perfectly.
“Strawberries compared to other fruit with their 6 grams contain only half of sugar compared to other fruits, but their main advantage is the high fiber content. This is important for the proper functioning of the digestive tract,” says nutritional advisor Hanka Nováková.

Butter dough must crunch
The basis is a simple butter dough, which is beautifully crunching while baking and underlining the soft fruit filling. Rhubarb gives the cakes a pleasant zest, the strawberries sweeten it and the thyme adds a slightly spicy, almost citrus tone. It is this detail that makes it more than just a classic fruit dessert – thanks to it, it gets slightly French flair and adult character, even though you can offer it to children without hesitation.
It is baked either as a rustic galetka who does not need a form or as a traditional cake. Some recipes use ricotta or almond filling base, which adds dessert to softness and fullness. Others make pure fruits and herbs, slightly underlined with cane sugar and a pinch of salt.
Baked strawberries and rhubarb will amaze you with its scent
Whatever version you choose, one thing is certain – when you pull the cake out of the oven and kitchens with the scent of butter, roast strawberries, rhubarb and thyme, you will know that it is exactly the dessert you will return to every season. The best tasting is served with a spoon of sour cream, yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
