Strawberry shortcake
What You Need
(25 x 30 cm tray or baking sheet)
Sponge cake
Eggs · 3 pcs
Granulated sugar · 1/2 cup (100g)
Cake flour · 1 cup (90g)
Milk · 1 Tbs.
Topping
Strawberries · 1 pack
Whipping cream · 1 cup (200ml)
Sugar · 2 Tbs.
1) Line the base and the sides of a baking tray with grease-proof paper. Sift the flour and put it back into the sieve. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
2) Break the eggs in a bowl, and add the sugar. Put the bowl in a
double boiler and beat the mix with an electric mixer till light and
fluffy. Remove from the double boiler once warm. Beat again till the
mixture falls like a ribbon.
3) Add the milk (warmed) and mix. Sift one third of the flour into the
egg mixture and mix with a wire whisk till blended. Repeat twice with
the rest of the flour, mixing each time.
4) Pour the batter into the prepared tray, flattening evenly with a
spatula. Bake for 13 minutes or till the top of the cake becomes golden
brown.
5) Turn out onto a wire rack and peel off the paper. Leave the paper on top of the cake while cooling, to prevent from drying.
6) Put the cream and the sugar in a bowl. Put the bowl over iced water,
and beat with an electric mixer till thick. Wash the strawberries.
Slice half the strawberries, and cut the remaining fruit in half.
