Equipment

  • Springform pan (Ø 26 cm)
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • Fine sieve
  • Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs eggs
  • 180 g sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 160 g flour
  • 2 tablespoons baked cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 600 g strawberries
  • 50 g sugar
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar
  • 6 leaves gelatin
  • 500 g cream
  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • q.s. chocolate decor (e.g., zebra oiling)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line a springform pan (Ø 26 cm) with baking paper.
  • Beat the eggs, sugar, and salt on high speed for about 5 minutes until fluffy and pale yellow.
  • Sift together the flour, cocoa, and baking powder, then gently fold into the egg mixture.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared mold and bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  • Wash and hull the strawberries, setting some aside for decoration. Blend the rest with sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth.
  • Pass the puree through a sieve to remove seeds. Soak the gelatin leaves in cold water, then dissolve them in a small saucepan with some strawberry puree.
  • Stir the gelatin mixture back into the remaining puree, chill slightly, then fold in the whipped cream.
  • Cut the cooled sponge horizontally into two layers. Spread half the strawberry mousse over the bottom layer, add dark chocolate shavings, and place the second sponge layer on top.
  • Cover the entire cake with the remaining mousse and decorate with reserved strawberries and chocolate drizzle. Chill for at least 4 hours.

Notes

Always use room-temperature eggs for better aeration. Be gentle when folding ingredients to keep the sponge light. Chill the assembled cake for optimal flavor and texture. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days, or freeze slices for up to one month.
