What
is Japanese Strawberry Shortcake?
Japanese strawberry shortcake is a layered sponge cake with a strawberry and whipped
cream filling, and whipped cream frosting. Unlike the American concept of
strawberry shortcake , there are normally sweet biscuits/scones topped with
strawberries and whipped cream.
Components you need:
- sponge cake
- cream
Chantilly
- fresh
strawberries
Sponge
(Egg separation method):
- 4 egg yolks

sugar
- 60g Liddells
lactose free milk( or any milk)
- 40g vegetable oil
- 80g cake flour
- 20g corn flour
- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 tsp cream
of tartar
- 70g castor
sugar
1)Whisk egg yolks and 20g of castor sugar.
2)Mix in oil and milk to well combine.
3)Sift in all flours and mix well.
4)In a clean bowl:Beat egg whites and cream of tartar
until foamy,add in castor sugar in 2 additions and keep beating it on high
speed until soft peak achieved.
5)Fold in 1/3 of meringue(a) into yolk mixture from step (3)
to well combined, then fold in the remaining meringue to well combine without
deflating the volume.
6)Pour into a prepared 10″ X 14″ baking tray lined with
baking paper.Bake at preheat oven of 170C
for 20 minutes or until it springs back when press in, depending on individual
oven.
7)Once baked, remove pan from oven and invert onto a new sheet

10)Prepare the cream chantilly.
Note:
(a)what is meringue? Meringue
means egg whites and castor sugar are beaten to airy texture with
alot of air pockets trapped inside.Usually to double
or tripled of volume.
(b)Always remember when folding meringue into yolk mixture,it
has to be done slowly and gently without deflating the air pockets, usually by
using spatula to fold from bottom to upwards in slow motion until both mixture
are well combined without any trace of meringue has been seen. Deflating
the air pockets will not produce a well risen cake as result.
(c)You can bake this sponge at 180C for 15 minutes.For my sponge to achieve cottony , airy and moist texture,
adjust to 170C for 20 minutes until golden brown and spring back when

depend on individual oven.(watch your oven temperature)
