Strawberry Tarte 2

This strawberry tarte is so easy to make and so delicious it would be very unfair of me to not share the recipe ;)

Ingredients

3 eggs
80 g of sugar
80 g of flour
40 g of corn flour
3 teaspoons of baking powder
vanilla extract
500 g of strawberries
200 g of smooth strawberry jam

Separate the eggs and whisk up the egg whites. In another bowl, cream together the egg yolks and the sugar until very pale and light. Add the vanilla extract. Combine the flours and the baking powder and sift in. Fold in carefully, making sure the mixture is combined but not over mixing it so that you don’t lose all the air. Line a baking tin with greaseproof paper at the bottom and butter on the sides and pour in the batter. Bake in the preheated oven at 180° C for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let the cake cool down and proceed to make the filling.

Wash the strawberries and cut off the green bits. Place them onto the sponge cake. Heat up the strawberry jam (it needs to be smooth!) and pour over the cake carefully. At home, I would use "red glaze" but I can't seem to be able to get hold of any in the UK so I used the jam instead :) Enjoy! :)
