Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • Cake mold
  • Toothpick

Ingredients

  • 200 g flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 6 egg whites
  • 200 g sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 50 g melted butter
  • 270 g strawberry jam
  • 2 egg whites for meringue
  • 250 g mashed strawberries
  • 250 g sugar for meringue

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease & flour the cake mold.
  • Sift flour with baking powder in a bowl.
  • Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whip sugar and egg yolks until pale and creamy.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients, vanilla, and melted butter gently.
  • Carefully incorporate beaten egg whites to maintain the batter's airiness.
  • Pour the mixture into the mold and bake for 30-40 minutes.
  • Insert a toothpick to check doneness (it should come out clean).
  • Once cooled, prepare the meringue by beating egg whites with half the sugar until foamy.
  • Add mashed strawberries and continue beating, gradually adding remaining sugar.
  • Slice the cooled cake horizontally in half and spread strawberry jam on the bottom half.
  • Place the top layer back on and cover the entire cake with strawberry meringue.
  • Create decorative swirls or peaks in the meringue.
  • Chill the cake in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

To enhance strawberry flavor, macerate fresh strawberries in sugar for 30 minutes before mashing.
Store the cake in the refrigerator covered loosely with plastic wrap for up to 3 days.
For freezing, it's best to freeze the unfilled cake layers separately and assemble later.
