INGREDIENTS

  • Fruit

    • 🍓 2 pounds fresh strawberries, sliced

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 cup white sugar
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥚 5 eggs, separated
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 ¼ cups white sugar
    • 1 cup heavy cream

STEPS

1

Place the sliced strawberries into a mixing bowl and stir in 1 cup of sugar. Cover, and refrigerate 2 hours to overnight. Stir occasionally.

2

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish. Whisk flour, cornstarch, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.

3

Beat egg yolks with vanilla extract until smooth; set aside. Whip egg whites until very stiff and slowly incorporate 1 1/4 cup sugar until stiff. Fold in yolk mixture and dry ingredients until just combined.

4

Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto wax paper.

5

While cooling, whip heavy cream with confectioners' sugar to soft peaks.

6

Cut each cooled cake square in half horizontally. Layer with strawberries and syrup, then top with whipped cream.
