Portion: 6"
Time: 2hrs

Ingredients:

Egg x 6pcs
Caster sugar x 120g
Vanilla essence x 2tsp
Cake flour x 180g
...................................................
Unsalted butter x 50g (melted)
Milk x 80g
...................................................
Whipped cream x 500ml
Strawberry jam x 3tbsp
Red food colouring x 1 tiny drop
Strawberry x 9pcs (cut into small dices) + 7pcs (toppings)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180c.
2. Beat the eggs with a hand mixer for about 2-3 mins in a large bowl, add in caster sugar and beat until soft peak.
3. Add in vanilla essence. Sift in cake flour gently.
4. Mix the melted butter with milk. Add in a scope of batter, mix well. Add this small mixture back to the batter and gently mix it well.
5. Separate the batter into two 6" forms. Bake it for 30mins. (Should check it often as all ovens are somehow different, once it gets golden on top, then cover it with aluminium foil and turn down to 160c)
6. Whip the whipped cream with a hand mixer until soft peak. Reserve some white whipped cream (1/5) for decoration before mixing it into pink colour.
7. Add in strawberry jam and a little tiny drop of red food colouring (use toothpick).
8. Check the cake with a toothpick and see if it's done. Cool it on a metal rack. (or in the fridge for faster action)
9. Cut into 3 layers on each cake. (only use the top 2 layers, discard the bottom layers)
10. To create the bottom layer, spread the pink whipped cream on the sponge cake, add in some diced strawberry on top. Repeat for the 2nd and 3rd layers.
11. For the last layer, just spread the whipped cream on top. Make the whole cake a bit more smooth looking.
12. Decorate with 7 whole strawberries on top, some white whipped cream and decorate as you like.
