Heavenly Golden Vanilla Sponge with Whipped Cream Rosettes, Fresh Strawberries & Dark Chocolate Shavings
Ingredients:
For the Sponge Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
For the Whipped Cream:
2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1/3 cup dark chocolate shavings
Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Beat the eggs and granulated sugar for 6-8 minutes until pale, thick, and tripled in volume.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture in three additions.
Stir together the warm milk, melted butter, and vanilla, then carefully fold into the batter without deflating it.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Beat the chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Pipe generous swirls of whipped cream over the cooled sponge in a circular pattern.
Arrange the sliced strawberries over the cream and sprinkle generously with dark chocolate shavings.
Chill for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
