Ingredients
Scale
- 5 large egg whites
- 5 large egg yolks
- 120 g granulated sugar (divided)
- 60 g milk
- 50 g oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 g cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 400 g heavy cream (cold)
- 40 g powdered sugar
- Fresh strawberries (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare your cake pans by greasing them lightly and lining with parchment paper.
- In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form; gradually add in 100g sugar until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks and remaining sugar; add milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Sift together cake flour and baking powder, then gently fold into the egg yolk mixture.
- Carefully fold in one-third of the whipped egg whites to lighten the batter, then fold in the rest until no streaks remain.
- Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- For whipped cream, beat cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Assemble layers by spreading whipped cream and diced strawberries between each cake layer; frost the top with remaining whipped cream and decorate.
