- Preparation: 40 min
- Cooking: 22 min
- Makes: 1 serving (136 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 25 g Flour, cake
- 20 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 20 g Sugar
- 0.8 g Baking powder
- 40 g Cream, heavy
- 30 g Strawberries, raw
- 0.3 g Vanilla extract
Method
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale, thick and doubled in volume, about 5 minutes.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder and fold in gently to keep the batter airy.
- Pour into a small greased cake tin and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 20-25 minutes until springy and a skewer comes out clean; cool completely, then split into 2 layers. This is for 1 slice; multiply by 10-12 and bake in a larger tin for a whole party cake.
- Whip the cream with the vanilla to soft peaks.
- Sandwich the cake layers with whipped cream and half the strawberries, then spread more cream over the top and sides.
- Decorate with the remaining strawberries and chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
