Cake Base:

- 45g milk
- 55g finely milled, low-protein (about 8%) cake flour
- 40g granulated sugar
- 5g fresh lemon juice
- 5g pure vanilla extract
Whipped Cream:
- 300g heavy whipping cream
- 30g granulated sugar
- A pinch of salt (about 1g)
Filling:
- Slices of fresh strawberries
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a clean bowl, thoroughly blend the vegetable oil and milk. Stir in the cake flour until smooth.
- Separate the eggs. Incorporate the yolks into the flour mixture.
- Ready the Oven and Tray:
- Line a 28cm square baking tray with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 150℃ (302℉).
- Egg Whites Mixture:
- In another bowl, combine the egg whites with sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat with a mixer until you achieve soft peaks.
- Gently fold a portion of the egg white mix into the batter, then combine the rest, being careful to maintain the mixture’s lightness.
- Bake the Cake:
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared tray. Bake for about 30 minutes or until it turns a golden hue.
- Whipped Cream:
- In a clean bowl, whip together heavy cream, sugar, and salt until stiff peaks form. Move the cream into a piping bag for later use.
- Prepare Strawberries:
- Wash and slice the strawberries, reserving four for garnishing.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Once the cake is cool, slice it into four equal squares.
- Place a cake layer on your serving stand. Evenly spread whipped cream, add a layer of strawberry slices, and then more cream. Place another cake layer on top. Repeat the process.
- Finish with a layer of whipped cream and decorate with the reserved strawberries.
- Chill and Serve:
- Let the cake chill for a while before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Enjoy the Sumptuous Strawberry Whisper Cake, a delightful treat that’s as pleasurable to eat as it is to behold.
