Description
A delightful dessert combining the lightness of sponge cake with the sweet flavor of strawberries, perfect for any special occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sifted flour
- 2 tbsp melted salted butter
- Roasted strawberry jam (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Milk (add gradually to get the right consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until thick and foamy (about 10 minutes).
- Gradually add the sifted flour while mixing on low speed, then gently fold in melted butter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 2 hours before releasing it.
- Slice the cake horizontally into two layers, spread roasted strawberry jam on the bottom layer, and place the top layer on top.
- For the glaze, mix icing sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to desired consistency, then glaze the top of the cake. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar instead.
Notes
Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better rise. Be gentle when folding in flour to avoid deflating the batter. Consider adding almond extract for a richer flavor.
