Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C and grease two 20cm sponge tins.
  • Boil strawberries, jam sugar, and lemon juice for five minutes to create an instant jam.
  • Cream butter, caster sugar, and salt together until light and fluffy.
  • Gradually whisk in the duck eggs and fold in the self-raising flour.
  • Divide the batter between the tins and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
  • Cool the cakes on a wire rack and remove the greaseproof paper.
  • Caramelize sugar in a pan and dip whole strawberries into it to set.
  • Layer one sponge with whipped cream and jam, then top with the second sponge.
  • Dust the cake with icing sugar and garnish with the caramel-coated strawberries.
