Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch (20cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.
Hull and slice the strawberries. Set aside to use later.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and tripled in volume (about 8-10 minutes).
Sift together the self-raising flour and corn flour. Gradually fold the sifted flour mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the batter, gently folding them in until well combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the lemon zest until stiff peaks form.
Place one of the cooled sponge cakes on a serving plate. Spread half of the lemon whipped cream over the top. Arrange half of the sliced strawberries on top of the whipped cream. Place the second sponge cake on top and repeat the process by spreading the remaining lemon whipped cream and arranging the remaining strawberries on top.
Your Strawberries 'n' Cream Sponge Cake is now ready to serve! Slice and enjoy. For additional garnish, you can sprinkle a bit of extra lemon zest or a dusting of powdered sugar on top.
Tips:
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature before you start, as this will help them whip up to a greater volume.
- Gently fold the flour into the egg mixture to maintain as much air as possible, which will keep the sponge light and fluffy.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Chill the bowl and whisk before whipping the cream to help it thicken faster and achieve a better consistency.
- Decorate with extra strawberries and a sift of powdered sugar for a lovely presentation.
Enjoy your delicious Strawberries 'n' cream sponge with family and friends. This light and tasty dessert is not only a feast for the taste buds but also a stunning centerpiece for any gathering. Whether you serve it at a party, a special dinner, or just as a delightful treat, it's sure to be a hit!
