Method of Preparation

Cake Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the sugar. Beat until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color.


Slowly add the warm milk and vanilla extract, mixing gently to keep the batter airy.


Gradually add the sifted flour, mixing carefully until the batter becomes smooth and free of lumps.


Add the baking powder and mix gently using slow circular movements.


Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan, leveling the surface with a spatula.


Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 30 minutes, or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.


Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely before slicing.


Cream Filling Preparation

Place the cold heavy cream in a large bowl and beat until stiff peaks form.


Add the sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Beat again until smooth and fluffy.


Gently mix the chopped strawberries using slow movements.


Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble.


Chilled Cake Assembly

• Slice the cake horizontally into two even layers.
