Directions
-
In a bowl, mix unsalted butter, milk, and red food coloring until combined. Sift in the cake flour and cocoa powder, then mix until smooth. Add the egg yolks to the mixture and stir well.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a few drops of lemon juice. Gradually add the sugar (50 g) while whipping until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cake batter until combined.
-
Pour the batter into a cake pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (302°F) for 50 minutes. Let the cake cool, then slice it horizontally into 3 layers. Cut the layers into smaller pieces approximately the size of strawberries.
-
In another bowl, combine heavy whipping cream and sugar (50 g). Whip the mixture with a hand blender until it forms stiff peaks.
-
Spread a layer of whipped cream on the first cake layer and top with sliced strawberries. Repeat the process with the remaining layers, adding cream and strawberries step by step. Shape and decorate the cake as desired.
