➡️ For a more appealing look, I add sometimes fresh peppermint leaves over the cake. So, the cake will definitely not go unnoticed and its taste will be even richer and more refined!

➡️ Because of its simplicity, there aren’t many baking tips to share regarding this fresh strawberry cake recipe except, maybe, the sponge cake. Many people ask why my sponge cake is so fluffy compared to those prepared using other recipes.

➡️ The secret consists of manually mixing: you have to combine the ingredients by hand slowly both after adding flour and the whipped egg whites to the other ingredients in the bowl. In this way, the dough incorporates small air bubbles that will make the sponge cake very fluffy during baking! There is nothing complicated, just basic baking skills that anyone should master!
