The origin of this recipe
I wanted to make a fluffy sponge cake!
I admired cakes with height like those from a store.
Baking time has been adjusted to 32 minutes, but check with a toothpick at 28 minutes.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Line the pan with parchment paper. Melt the butter in the microwave. Sift the cake flour.
- 2
Separate the egg yolks and whites, placing the whites in a large bowl. Add sugar in three parts, beating into a firm meringue.
- 3
If you have time, place the egg yolks over a double boiler and beat with a hand mixer until fluffy before adding.
- 4
Add the egg yolks and mix, then add the cake flour and gently fold with a spatula until no flour remains.
- 5
Add the melted butter while catching it with a spatula and mix evenly.
- 6
Pour into the prepared pan. Bake at 340°F (170°C) for 32 minutes. Check with a skewer; if it comes out clean, it's done.
- 7
Mix ☆ to make the syrup. It doesn't have to be exact. See tips for guidance.
- 8
Make whipped cream. Whip to soft peaks, then separate 2/3 and whip to stiff peaks.
- 9
Slice the cooled cake from step 6 in half and spread the syrup from step 7 on the cut surface. Spread the cream whipped to stiff peaks and layer with sliced strawberries, then spread more cream.
- 10
After sandwiching, cover the entire cake with the cream whipped to stiff peaks. It doesn't have to be perfectly smooth.
- 11
Pour the cream whipped to soft peaks over the top and spread smoothly. It's easy to spread because it's soft.
- 12
Decorate with strawberries as you like♪

I cut it into heart shapes and decorated it. I've made it many times, and it never fails^^
