- First, you’ll start by preparing the egg yolk mixture. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Then, in a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks, sugar, salt, corn syrup, vanilla, and water. Beat the mixture until it’s fluffy and pale yellow. Set it aside once it’s ready.
- Next, it’s time to make the egg white meringue. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they start to get foamy. Gradually add in the sugar and beat until firm peaks form.
- Combine the egg white meringue with the egg yolk mixture, gently folding until it’s mostly mixed. Then, sift in the flour and baking powder, folding after each addition.
- Prepare the rest of the batter by adding in the oil and the remaining egg white meringue. Then, bake the batter in a round cake pan until golden brown.
- Remove the cake from the pan and let it cool on a rack. While it’s cooling, prepare the whipped cream frosting and cake syrup.
- Slice the cake into even layers and brush each layer with the sugar syrup. Then, add a layer of cream and sliced strawberries, repeating as necessary.
- Finish by frosting the top and sides of the cake with whipped cream and decorating with whole strawberries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Your delectable strawberry sponge cake is now ready to be served!
