Ingredients

5 Stück eggs
200 g sugar
1 Packung vanilla sugar
150 g wheat flour
1 TL baking powder
50 g butter
800 ml whipping cream
6 Stück gelatin sheets
500 g strawberries
1 Prise pinch of salt

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 °C top and bottom heat and line a 26 cm springform pan with baking paper.
Whisk the eggs with sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl for about 5 minutes until frothy, until the mixture is light and creamy.
Mix the flour with baking powder, fold in in portions and gently incorporate the butter.
Pour the batter into the pan, smooth it out and bake for about 25 minutes. Do a skewer test, then let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes. Wash and hull the strawberries, slice half of them and set the rest aside for decoration.
Whip the cream with some vanilla sugar until stiff. Gently warm a portion of the cream in a saucepan, dissolve the squeezed gelatin in it and stir it into the remaining cream.
Cut the sponge cake horizontally once. Cover the bottom layer with the strawberry slices and spread a third of the cream over it.
Place the second layer on top, spread the remaining cream all around the outside and chill the cake for at least 2 hours.
Before serving, decorate with the remaining strawberries.
