Strawberry shortcake passion – light shortcake, fluffy whipped cream and the intense fragrance of fresh strawberries. Multi-step but easy to follow recipe that totally deserves its time. A cake so amazingly beautiful and tender. All we have waited for. Soo Tasty with Soo Foodies!
- It is better that all products are with room temperature except for the heavy cream
- As cake is not too sweet, use sweet ripe strawberries or add powdered sugar into the whipped cream
- You may replace strawberries with blueberries
- Instead of gelatin, white chocolate can also tighten the filling
- Cut the brown edges of the sponge to keep its light vanilla color
- Use special ring or the removable one of the cooking pan
- You may slightly sprinkle with powdered sugar on top

The SpongeBeat the egg whites and the spread cheese with mixer until stiff peaks are formed. Slowly add the egg whites to the cake batter, whisk gently to homogeneous texture. Take 2 pans, one round for the base and one rectangular for the board. Place parchment paper in. Pour about 2/3rds of the batter in the round pan and spread it evenly with rubber spatula. Pour the remaining batter into the rectangular pan and spread it evenly again. Bake each batter in preheat oven at 200 C for 8 to 10 minutes. Neither cake should get brown. Take out of pans, remove parchment paper and cool down on wire rack for 5-10 minutes. Cut the rectangular sponge in three even parts. |
