In another bowl, sift flour, cornstarch and baking powder with a flour sifter.
90 g cake flour
20 g cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
Now let flour mixture fold into dough one tablespoon at a time, running food processor on slowest setting.
Now pour the quite liquid dough into a springform pan, which is lined with baking paper. I always clamp the baking paper in the springform pan and grease the edges lightly.
Now bake the dough for 15 minutes at 200 °C. Start 15 minutes timer here
While the sponge cake is baking and cooling, you can prepare the strawberries. Wash them and cut into small cubes.
1 kg strawberries
After baking, let the sponge cool and then remove from the springform pan and baking paper. For the base, I flip the entire sponge upside down using a wooden board. Then you can easily peel off the baking paper and invert it back onto a cake plate.
For my multi-layer sponge cake, I divide the base once crosswise into two halves. A good knife or a cake layer cutter is suitable for this. The top layer is carefully put aside with the help of a thin cake lifter plate.
Now whip the cups of cream with the cream stiffener until stiff.
600 ml whipped cream
24 g whipped cream stabilizer
Now spread strawberries on the bottom sponge cake layer first, so that the entire layer is covered. Then spread approx. ⅓ of the cream amount on the strawberries with a pastry scraper or cake knife.
Now carefully stack the second sponge cake layer again and spread another layer of strawberries. Now again put about ⅓ cream on the strawberries and with the last third of the cream still pull the edges neatly and if desired distribute some cream decoration with a piping bag. Likewise, you can still use a few strawberry pieces or strawberry slices as decoration.
Now refrigerate the finished cake for at least an hour and enjoy. Start 60 minutes timer here
Notes
You can also bake the cream sponge cake and cake with only one layer or also put other fruit, such as peaches on the second half. So you have directly two different flavors to choose from.
