Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber spatula
  • Springform pan (9-inch)
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Knife and cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs separated
  • 1 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup strawberry puree from about 1/2 pound strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour the springform pan.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Whisk the egg yolks with 1/2 cup of sugar until they become thick and have a pale color. Mix in vanilla extract and milk. Gradually fold in the flour mixture.
  • In another bowl, whip the egg whites until they reach soft peaks. Continue to add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar slowly, whipping until you achieve stiff peaks. Fold into the batter gently.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 5 minutes to soften. Heat gently until gelatin dissolves. Cool to room temperature.
  • Whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then gradually add the dissolved gelatin. Fold in strawberry puree.
  • Arrange sliced strawberries over the cooled cake base. Pour the cream mixture over the strawberries. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • Serve chilled, garnished with more fresh strawberries.

Notes

  1. To get the ideal texture, make sure all ingredients are brought to room temperature before starting.
  2. When folding the egg whites into the batter, be gentle to keep the cake fluffy.
  3. Dissolve the gelatin completely to avoid any lumps in the cream.
  4. Cool the cake base completely before adding the cream layer to prevent it from melting.
  5. Opt for fresh, fully ripe strawberries to enhance both the flavor and the visual appeal of the cake.
