Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 120 g granulated sugar (divided into 100g and 20g)
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 60 g milk
  • 50 g oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 100 g cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 400 g heavy cream or whipping cream (cold)
  • 40 g powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for whipped cream
  • 6 large strawberries (diced, plus more whole or halved strawberries for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare your cake pans with grease or parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whip egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add 100g sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Sift in cake flour and baking powder to combine.
  4. Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it, then incorporate the remaining whites carefully.
  5. Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  7. Whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  8. Assemble the cake by layering whipped cream and diced strawberries between layers, finishing with whipped cream on top.
