JAPANESE STRAWBERRY SPONGE CAKE (STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE)
Japanese sponge cakes in general have a lighter and softer texture than those I find in Australia, and possibly other Western countries. The texture is almost like my Cotton Cheesecake. The most popular sponge cake in Japan is by far the Strawberry Sponge Cake, aka Strawberry Shortcake. (Watch the Video)

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C/356°F.
- Coat the inside of an 18cm/7" cake tin (note 6) with butter, dust with flour, then shake off the excess flour.
- Put the egg yolks in a bowl, add ⅔ of the sugar and beat the egg yolks until they become whitish and thick. Draw a ribbon with the whisk and if the ribbon disappears slowly (see the Video), it is ready.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites. When the small bubbles form and the volume of the egg white doubles, add the remaining sugar in 2-3 batches and beat further to make meringue.
- When the meringue becomes firm and it can form a peak when you lift the whisk (see the step-by-step photo and video in the post), it is ready.
- Put the flour through the sifter and add to the beaten egg yolk. Fold the batter with a spatula.
- Transfer ⅓ of the meringue to the batter and mix with a whisk until the batter becomes smooth.
- Add the remaining meringue to the batter in 2-3 batches and fold.
- Pour the melted butter into the batter and fold several times. It's OK even if the butter is not completely mixed.
- Pour the batter into the cake tin. Drop the tin onto the work bench to settle the batter in the tin.
- Cook in the oven at 180°C/356°F for 25 minutes. Insert a thin bamboo skewer in the centre of the cake to see if the skewer comes out dry. If the skewer is a bit wet, cook further 5 minutes.
- Take the tin out of the oven and drop the tin onto the workbench a couple of times to detach the cake from the tin. Remove the cake from the tin and place it on a rack, upside down (bottom side up). Let it cool completely.
- If making syrup, put the Syrup ingredients in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. When the sugar is dissolved, turn the heat off. Let it cool.
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Wipe the strawberries with a wet kitchen paper, remove the stems and halve 10 strawberries.
- Leave the sponge cake upside down as is and slice it horizontally in half (note 7), remove the top half and place it next to the bottom half of the cake, cut side up.
- Using a brush, coat the cut surface of the two sponge cakes with the syrup gently.
- Drop about 3 heaped tablespoons of the whipped cream on the bottom half of the sliced cake and spread it to cover the entire surface. Fill the surface with the halved strawberries, without a gap as much as possible.
- Drop about 4 heaped tablespoons of the whipped cream on and spread it to cover the strawberries and the round edge.
- Place the top half of the cake on it, syrup side down. Gently press down, making sure the top and bottom cakes are aligned. Fill the gap around the strawberry filling on the side with whipped cream.
- (Optional) thinly coat the top and the side of the cake with whipped cream. It is OK not to completely cover the sponge. Leave the cake in the fridge for 10 minutes (note 8).
- Using a cake spatula or a long flat spatula, fully cover the top and the side of the cake with the remaining whipped cream, leaving some (about minimum of 4-5 tablespoons) for piping.
- Put the remaining cream in a piping bag with a round nozzle. Squeeze out the cream to make a mound of cream in 8 positions around the edge of the surface. Place a strawberry on each mound.

Steps:
- Prepare a square 8 x 8" square baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper and grease it well. Preheat oven to 350 degree F and place a rack in the middle of the oven. In a mixer whip eggs and sugar on high speed for 5 minutes or until batter forms a ribbon when the wire whip is lifted, the color should be light yellow. Turn down the mixer to medium speed; slowly pour the flour mixture into the batter. Next add the milk and then orange juice. Mix it well. Then add the orange zest, honey and mix it again well. Last, add the oil and make sure it is incorporated into the batter thoroughly. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place it in the oven and bake for 10 minutes in 350 degree F. After that, lower the temperature to 325 degree F and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove from the pan as soon as it is done. Place it on the cooling rack and let it cool completely. Wrap with plastic wrap overnight before cutting.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C).
- In a small pot over medium heat, whisk together the butter, cream cheese, and milk until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth, then slowly drizzle in the cream cheese mixture, stirring until evenly combined.
- Sift in the flour and the cornstarch, whisking to make sure there are no lumps.
- In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Fold about ¼ of the egg whites and into the yolk mixture, then repeat with the remaining egg whites until the batter is evenly combined.
- Grease the bottom of a 9 x 3-inch (23 x 7.5 cm) round cake pan, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. If using a springform pan, make sure to wrap the bottom and sides completely in foil twice to prevent any leakage.
- Pour the batter into the pan and shake to release any large air bubbles.
- Place the pan into a larger baking dish lined with 2 paper towels at the bottom. The paper towels ensure that the heat is distributed evenly along the bottom of the pan. Fill the larger pan about 1-inch (2-cm) high with hot water.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce the heat to 285°F (140°C), and bake for another 55 minutes, until the cake has risen to almost double its original height.
- Remove from oven, and carefully invert the cake onto your dominant hand and peel off the paper. Be extremely careful, the cake will be hot. You can also invert the cake onto a plate, but this will cause the cake to deflate more.
- Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar, then slice and serve with strawberries while still warm!
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 C). Use parchment to line the bottom of a 10-inch tube pan, preferably with a removable bottom or 2 (8 x 4-inch) loaf pans. Grease the parchment. In a large bowl, whisk 1 cup sugar, honey, vanilla, lemon extract, and salt into egg yolks. Place bowl in a large pan of hot water. With an electric mixer, beat about 5 minutes on medium-high speed until pale yellow and doubled in volume. Gently fold in sifted flour.
- Wash beaters. In a large bowl, beat egg whites in electric mixer on a low speed 1 minute, increasing speed to medium-high. When foamy, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon sugar and cream of tartar. Beat until stiff but not dry. With a spatula, fold the egg whites in thirds. Pour batter into pan. Tap gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake on middle rack of oven 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. When done, cake sides will pull away from pan slightly; top will be flat and feel spongy when pressed with finger. Cool 20 minutes. Run a small knife between edge of cake and pan. Remove from pan carefully. Pull off parchment and cool completey. Serve or store airtight.

JAPANESE SPONGE CAKE
From japanesefood.about.com. I have not yet tried this recipe, so my comments are largely based on others' comments and on my own experience with Japanese bakery cakes. This is a popular cake in Japan at Christmastime, but it is delicious any time fresh fruit is in season! I like strawberries the best, but peaches and mangos are also nice. Use any fruit or combination of fruits you like. Chop whatever quantity of fresh fruit you'd like for the filling (halved or sliced strawberries are particularly lovely set into the whipped cream), and save some to decorate the top with. Be sure to whisk the eggs very well to make a nice, light sponge. There is no leavening added in the original recipe, so the height and texture are all due to having well-beaten eggs. Some reviewers of this recipe who had trouble getting it to come out right added some baking soda, and some also added a little vanilla. The cake should be eggy, not vanilla-y, but feel free to add the vanilla if you prefer. Both of these will be listed as optional ingredients. The prep time is estimated.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Grease and line a 7-inch (18 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk eggs very well in a bowl. Place bowl in a larger bowl partially filled with warm water to make a warm water bath. Continue to whisk eggs. Add sugar a little at a time, whisking all the while.
- When the egg mixture is a light yellow color, sift the flour and add it to the eggs along with the baking soda (if using) and mix in lightly.
- Warm the milk in the microwave; add butter and stir until melted. Add milk mixture and vanilla (if using) to egg mixture and stir in gently.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350° F for 25-35 minutes (cake should be springy in center when gently pressed with fingers).
- Remove cake from pan and cool on wire rack.
- When cake is cool, slice in half horizontally to make 2 layers.
- In a large bowl, whip cream and sugar together until fairly stiff. Divide whipped cream into two portions; set one half aside.
- To remaining half of whipped cream, add chopped fruit as desired. Spread fruited whipped cream over the bottom half of the cake. Top with upper half, and spread whipped cream over top, and sides of cake if desired (or leave them uncovered if preferred). Garnish top with additional fresh fruit and serve.

- Measure the flour and butter correctly. The importance of sieving the flour. Measure 100g of plain flour and sieve at least once. What I mean by plain flour is any wheat flour that is label as cake flour or all-purpose flour.
- Add the milk. Add 60ml (4 tablespoons) of milk to the flour-butter mixture. You may pour all the milk into the mixture or add in batches. It will not make any difference to the result.
- Separate the egg yokes from the egg whites carefully. We need to add the egg yolks to the above flour-butter-milk paste to form the batter. So far the process is relatively straight forward.
- Making the batter. Lightly beat the egg yolks and add to the flour-butter-milk mixture. Again I have tried to add the egg yolks in batches to the mixture, but it makes no difference compare to pouring all the yolks at one go.
- Beat the egg whites until it forms stiff peaks. The egg white should be at room temperature while making the meringue. Remove the eggs from the refrigerator and wait for it to return to the room temperature before cracking them.
- Line the cake pan with baking paper. Line the cake pan with a large piece of baking paper enough to cover the sides of the square cake pan. Brush the paper with some melted butter.
- Baking at the right temperature. Place the cake in the hot water bath. Once the oven is heated, bake at 150°C/300°F for sixty minutes. But it may not be right sometimes!
- Do not cut the cake immediately after baking. Remove the cake from the oven and water bath and let it cools on the table for fifteen minutes. The cake will shrink a little and detached from the sides of the pan.
