Instructions:

Step 1:

For the sponge cake. Add 3/4 cups of sugar and 2 eggs to a bowl. Beat using a hand mixer until combined. Pour hot water into a bigger container or bowl and place the bowl of egg mixture on top. Continue to beat until smooth. Remove from the hot water then melt the butter. Continue beating the mixture until it remains in shape. Sift the 1/2 cup of cake flour into the mixture to remove lumps. Gently mix by scooping from the bottom using a spatula. Next, combine a small portion of the batter and melted butter. Add it to the bowl then mix.

Step 2:

Pour the batter into a 5.9″ x 5.9″ mold lined with parchment paper. Thump to remove some of the air bubbles. Place in a preheated oven at 338 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes. Once done baking, remove from the mold and let it cool completely on a rack.

Step 3:

Make the sugar syrup by combining the hot water and sugar.

Step 4:

Cut the cake into 3 layers with a thickness of 0.5 inches.

Step 5:

Make the whipped cream by whisking heavy cream, yogurt, and sugar in a bowl placed in a container with cold water and ice. Whisk until stiff enough.

Step 6:

Brush some of the sugar syrup on the first layer of cake until moist. Add a layer of whipped cream and spread evenly. Place the sliced strawberries on top. Add another layer of whipped cream to cover the strawberries. Do the same for the second layer. Lastly, add the last layer of cake, moist with the syrup, then cover with whipped cream. Place in the refrigerator. Mix the frozen dry strawberry powder into the remaining whipped cream. Place in a piping bag and chill in the refrigerator.

Step 7:

Cut the 4 sides of the cake then slice into 4 pieces. Garnish with strawberries and the cream from the piping bag. Enjoy!
