Ingredients

For The Sponge Cake
1 recipe eggless vanilla sponge cake

For The Filling
1 cup beaten whipped cream
3/4 cup mashed strawberries
1 tbsp powdered sugar

To Be Mixed Into A Soaking Syrup
1 tbsp powdered sugar
3/4 cup hot water
1 tbsp brandy

For The Topping
1 cup beaten whipped cream
3/4 cup sliced strawberries

Method

For the filling

Combine the strawberries, powdered sugar and beaten whipped cream in a bowl and fold gently.

For the sponge cake

Follow the exact recipe, except use a heart-shaped mould. However, if you do not have a heart-shaped mould, use a round tin and then when the sponge is cool, cut a heart shape by using a butter paper cut-out placed on the cake.

How to proceed

Cool and slice the sponge cake horizontally into 2 equal layers.
Sprinkle the soaking syrup on both the parts of the cake evenly.
Place the lower layer of the cake on a flat, dry surface with the soaked side facing up and spread the filling evenly over it using a palate knife.
Place the top layer of the cake over it with the soaked side facing downwards.
Pipe out swirls of beaten whipped cream along the circumference of the cake.
Fill the centre of the cake evenly with the strawberry slices.
Refrigerate till the cake is firm.
Just before serving, cut into 6 equal wedges and serve chilled.
