Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer or a whisk until thick, pale, and tripled in volume (about 5-7 minutes).
- Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Sift the self-raising flour into the egg mixture, gently folding it in with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly, then hull and slice them. Set aside.
- Once the sponge cake has completely cooled, place it on a serving platter.
- Evenly spread the lime ricotta cream over the top of the cake.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the ricotta cream in an attractive pattern.
- Slice the cake and serve immediately. Enjoy the delightful combination of soft sponge cake, tangy lime ricotta cream, and fresh strawberries!
Tips:
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature before starting to achieve a fluffier sponge.
- Gently fold the flour into the egg mixture to preserve the airiness of the batter.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
- Chill the lime ricotta cream in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Choose ripe but firm strawberries for a perfect combination of sweetness and texture.
- Decorate the cake just before serving to keep the strawberries fresh and vibrant.
This sponge cake with lime ricotta cream & strawberries is a deliciously light and refreshing dessert that your family and friends will adore.
