Make the perfect Strawberry Cake

• On a decorating turntable (or on a pretty plate), place one layer of sponge cake, then add a quarter of the whipped cream, then strawberry coulis and add pieces of fresh strawberries.

• Cover with another layer of sponge cake and repeat. Keep a few spoons of strawberry coulis.
• Cover the cake with a thin layer of whipped cream a refrigerate for 1h.

• Take your cake out of the fridge and cover with the rest of the whipped cream. You can mix the strawberry coulis with the whipped cream if you want a pink cake. The more coulis the darker the pink. Or you could add little drops of strawberry coulis on the cream to make pink spots on the white cake.
• Decorate with fresh strawberries on top and voila! The perfect summer cake: the strawberry cake!
