Preparation:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with the salt until peaks form.
  • Whisk in the sugar, gradually. Then, add the egg yolks, one by one, whisking the mixture meanwhile.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients, slowly, using a wooden spoon.
  • Pour half of the mixture into a cake tin, covered with baking parchment, greased and dusted with some flour.
  • Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes and leave to completely cool. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
  • Once it’s cool, cut the layers in two so you end up with 4 layers. I used three, save the extra on and serve it with some cream for a treat. 🙂
  • To make the cream and custard filling – whisk the cream until thick, add the custard and mix well.
  • For the white chocolate ganache – melt the white chocolate and cream and the food colouring and leave to cool and thicken.
  • To assemble the cake – on a cake stand place the bottom layer and spread strawberry jam on top. Place the middle layer and spread the cream and custard filling and cover with the third layer.
  • Coat the cake evenly with the white chocolate ganache.
  • Decorate with some fresh strawberries.
  • Place in the fridge overnight. Remove from the fridge 10-15 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
