Ingredients

For Sponge Cake: (separate video)
6 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
For Filling:
2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
8 ounces whipped cream cheese, softened at room temperature
2 pounds fresh strawberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2, 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper without greasing the sides. Place eggs and sugar into mixer bowl and whisk on high speed until thick and pale, almost white in color.
Combine flour and baking powder. Sift flour into egg batter in small batches, folding very gently until all flour is added. Immediately pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake in preheated oven until golden brown. Remove from pans immediately onto cooling racks and remove parchment paper. Let cool completely before slicing in half.
Place heavy cream and sugar into mixer bowl. Whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually add cream cheese and vanilla, if desired.
Wash and sliced strawberries. To assembled cake, spread sliced strawberries over sponge cake and cover with generous amount of frosting. Repeat for remaining layers. Arrange strawberries on top in decorative pattern. Refrigerate cake until ready to serve.
