Best Strawberry Sponge Cake – VIDEO RECIPE

how to cook Best Strawberry Sponge Cake?
STEP 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350⁰F). Begin by washing the strawberries and removing the stems. Cut some of the strawberries in half lengthwise, while the larger berries should be chopped coarsely.
STEP 2

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir the mixture well.
STEP 3

Next, take a large bowl and place the eggs in it. Add the sugar and vanilla sugar, then mix everything together using a mixer on low speed.
STEP 4

Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg-sugar mixture. Pour in the vegetable oil and apple cider vinegar, continuing to mix with the mixer on low speed until the dough becomes smooth. Afterward, increase the mixer speed to maximum and mix for one minute.
TIPS: Make sure to use refined, deodorized vegetable oil. This will help prevent any strange smells or tastes from creeping into your treats.
TIPS: If you’re looking for a substitute for apple cider vinegar, check out my article on “How to Substitute Any Vinegar?”. It provides helpful suggestions to suit your needs.
STEP 5

Grease a 28cm round baking tin with butter. Pour the prepared dough into the greased tin.
STEP 6

Place the tin with the dough into the preheated oven at 175°C (350⁰F). Bake for around 15 minutes, or until the cake turns golden brown.
TIPS: Looking for some helpful advice on how to preheat your oven and prepare it for baking? Look no further than my articles “How and Why Do You Need to Preheat Oven” and “Top 7 Secrets How to Bake in Oven”.
STEP 7

Allow the finished sponge cake to cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
TIPS: Wondering if your cake is ready? Stick a wooden stick or toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean, your cake is done.
STEP 8

Then, remove the cake from the tin and let it cool further on a wire rack.
TIPS: If you’re feeling adventurous and want to make a multi-layer cake, go for it! Just cut your cake in half lengthwise. But remember, you’ll need to double the amount of ricotta cream to ensure each layer is adequately covered.
STEP 9

In a large bowl, combine the ricotta and yogurt. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until it becomes creamy.
TIPS: You can use cottage cheese instead of ricotta. But remember, the quality of your cottage cheese matters. Opt for a fatty, non-acidic, and not overly dried variety. This will ensure a velvety and tender texture for your cream. Trust me, it’s worth it!
TIPS: If you’re lacking an immersion blender, fear not. Simply rub the ricotta or cottage cheese through a fine sieve a couple of times until you achieve the desired consistency. Patience pays off!
STEP 10

Add sugar to the ricotta mixture and thoroughly mix everything together.
STEP 11

Spread the ricotta cream onto the cooled sponge cake, ensuring an even layer.
TIPS: When it comes to spreading the ricotta cream over the cake layers, using a pastry spatula will make your life much easier. It’s a handy tool that allows for a smooth and convenient application.
STEP 12

Place the chopped strawberries on top of the ricotta cream.
STEP 13

Prepare the gelatin glaze according to the instructions on the package. Carefully pour the jelly over the strawberries.
TIPS: For the best results with a gelatin glaze, pour it in several stages, allowing each layer to harden before adding the next. This will create beautiful and distinct layers in your cake.
TIPS: Don’t worry if you don’t have ready-made gelatin glaze for your cake. You can easily make it yourself. Check out my recipe for “Fresh Cherry Chocolate Cake” in the “for the gelatin glaze” section for a quick and simple method.
STEP 14

To add a finishing touch, decorate the cake with lime zest.
TIPS: To zest a lime, you have a few options. You can use a vegetable peeler, a special zester, or a small sharp knife.
TIPS: Lemon zest can be used as a substitute for lime zest, adding a tangy and refreshing flavor to your dishes.
STEP 15

Finally, cut Best Strawberry Sponge Cake into equal pieces and serve with a cup of tea. Enjoy your meal!
