Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 5 eggs and 1/2 cup sugar using an electric mixer at high speed until the mixture is pale, thick, and has tripled in volume (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add the 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix gently to combine.
- Sift together the 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup self-raising flour, and 1 tsp corn flour.
- Gradually fold the sifted flours into the egg mixture using a spatula. Be gentle to retain as much air as possible.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cook the strawberries over medium heat until they begin to break down and release their juices, stirring occasionally.
- Mash the strawberries slightly for a chunkier jam, or more if you prefer a smoother consistency.
- Cook until the mixture thickens slightly (about 10-15 minutes).
- Allow to cool completely before using.
- Place the second sponge cake on top.
- Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top of the second layer.
- Optionally, decorate with fresh strawberries or a dusting of powdered sugar.
- Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your delightful Sponge Cake with Cheat's Strawberry Jam and Cream!
Tips:
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before starting the recipe. This helps in achieving maximum volume when beating.
- Do not open the oven door while the sponge cake is baking, as this can cause the cake to deflate.
- Use a chilled bowl and whisk when whipping the cream to ensure it reaches stiff peaks quickly and maintains a stable structure.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture to avoid deflating the batter.
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a few tablespoons of sugar to the strawberries to macerate them before adding to the cake.
