I received lots of strawberries.

(Note 1) When the egg warms to body temperature, remove from hot water. Next, warm the butter and milk.
(Note 2) Stir the dough like you are scooping up from the bottom.
(Note 3) I do this to prevent the spongecake from sticking out from the side when mousse is poured into the cake pan. For 15 cm [5.9 in] diameter round cake pan ( loose bottom type cake pan ). Recipe by Akito mama
