  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar (for sponge cake)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar (for mousse)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for jelly topping)
  • 2 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
  • 2 tbsp cold water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of an 8-inch round springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on high speed until thick and pale (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture in two parts.
  5. Mix the warm milk, oil, and vanilla extract, then drizzle this into the batter while folding gently.
  6. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let it cool and slice into two layers.
  7. For the Strawberry Mousse: Blend strawberries into a puree. Combine with sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan, simmering for 5 minutes. Cool slightly.
  8. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Microwave for 10 seconds, then mix into the strawberry puree.
  9. Beat heavy cream to soft peaks and fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream.
  10. For the Strawberry Jelly Topping: Blend strawberries into a puree and combine with sugar in a saucepan, simmering for 5 minutes. Cool slightly.
  11. Bloom gelatin in cold water and dissolve as before. Mix into the cooled strawberry puree.
  12. Assembly: Place one sponge layer in the springform pan. Spread half the strawberry mousse over the top.
  13. Add the second sponge layer and cover with the remaining mousse.
  14. Refrigerate the cake for 2-3 hours until set.
  15. Pour the strawberry jelly over the set mousse and smooth it evenly.
  16. Refrigerate for another 1-2 hours until fully set.
  17. Carefully release the cake from the pan and garnish with fresh strawberries and whipped cream if desired.
  18. Serve chilled, slice into wedges, and enjoy!
