Ingredients Sponge Cake (6 serving)

  • 4 eggs
  • 150g (5.3 oz) sugar
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 100g (3.5 oz) flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp soda
Separate the egg yolks from the whites and beat them, with half the sugar until you have a tight meringue, to polish.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar, water and vanilla for 5 minutes until fluffy. Add the flour with the baking powder and baking soda. Stir to incorporate in the mixture.
Mix gradually into the mixture of yolks the meringue little by little. Stir from bottom to top in a circular motion to incorporate.
Pour the beaten mixture of sponge cake into a buttered and floured form Ø20cm (Ø7.9in).
Bake in preheated oven at 190°C (374°F, Gas 5) for 20'-25'. Remove the form from the oven and leave it up on a rack to cool.

In blender crush the cake crumbs or do it manually. In serving glasses put 2-3 tablespoons cake and press it with the base of a smaller glass. Wet it with 2 tablespoons liqueur.
On the top of the sponge cake spread some of the sauce fruit and over the sauce some fruits.
We keep the best fruits for decoration at the end.
Then add 2-3 tablespoons of the whipped cream. Spread to cover the fruit below.
Repeat the next layer, placing alternately once again the ingredients, starting from cakes.
Finish with decorating the last layer of whipped cream with fruits you kept.
