Ingredients

Sponge cake (prepared according to the recipe on page 66) 1 (about 22 cm diameter)
Strawberries 500 g
Raspberry jelly 1 can
Fine granulated sugar 200 g
Butter 200 g
Egg whites 3
Kirsch (for flavoring) to taste

Instructions

1

Make the buttercream

Whisk the egg whites with the sugar over a bain-marie until glossy and creamy. Cream the butter until fluffy and flavor with kirsch. Gently fold the whisked egg whites into the buttercream.

2

Slice and base layer

Depending on the height of the sponge cake, slice it horizontally into 2 or 3 layers. On the first layer, spread a thin layer of raspberry jelly, followed by a thicker layer of buttercream.

3

Layer with strawberries

Arrange the halved strawberries on top, then cover with the second cake layer. Repeat spreading the jelly, cream, and strawberries. Place the final cake layer on top.

4

Decorate

Decorate the surface of the cake with the remaining buttercream and strawberries.
