Cake:
- 113 g cake flour
- 142 g granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 egg yolks
- 56 g neutral oil (like vegetable or canola)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Filling and Topping:
- 396 g heavy cream (chilled)
- 100 g strawberry jam
- 10 medium-sized fresh strawberries, sliced (for filling)
- Additional fresh strawberries (for topping)
- Some whole fresh strawberries (for garnish)
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cake flour, sugar, and salt. Add egg yolks, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
- Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cakes spring back when gently pressed.
- Let cakes cool completely in the pans, then carefully remove them.
- In a separate bowl, beat the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam over the top, followed by an even layer of whipped cream and the sliced strawberries.
- Top with the second cake layer and cover the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream.
- Decorate with halved and whole fresh strawberries on top. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
