We're starting off beautifully with some lovely strawberry plants. In Israel, it's strawberry season, and we're making the most of it because it doesn't last long.
For the sponge cake:
▪︎6 eggs at room temperature
▪︎200g of sugar
▪︎200g of flour
▪︎1/2 plastic glass of oil
▪︎1 sachet of yeast
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the eggs and sugar and whisk for at least 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Gently fold in the flour and baking powder while the mixer is running at low speed, then add the oil. Pour the batter onto two baking sheets lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes.
Cut out 2 circles slightly smaller than the one in which you plan to assemble your strawberry cake.

For the diplomat cream:
▪︎6 egg yolks
▪︎100g of sugar
▪︎vanilla in pods or sachets
▪︎50g of cornstarch
▪︎500ml of milk or soy milk
▪︎1 large capful of rum
▪︎6g of gelatin dissolved in 36g of water
▪︎300ml of liquid cream
Heat the milk in a saucepan. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture turns pale. Add the cornstarch. Slowly pour the simmering milk into the egg mixture, then return to the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Heat the gelatin in the microwave, then pour it through a sieve into the custard. Finally, stir in the rum. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface.
When the pastry cream has cooled, whip the liquid cream into chantilly and gently mix the two creams together.
Begin assembling the strawberry cake. Place a strip of acetate around the inside of the cake ring. Arrange strawberries all around the edge. Place the first sponge cake layer, well soaked in rum, on the bottom. Layer with cream, strawberries, the second sponge cake layer, and more strawberries and cream. Smooth the surface and cover with marzipan.
I didn't have time to take a picture of the whole thing, they devoured it! I used a heart-shaped mold!
A cup corresponds to 250 ml when I mention "cup" in my recipes. Here are two tables that will help you with your conversions if you don't have a cup!
