Strawberry sponge cake

One day, I came across to Christine's recipes site, saw this nice picture under the recipe, it's a strawberry sponge cake with really delicate decorates. I had this thinking maybe I should try this adventurous baking for myself. So I had my second baking day during my spring break last week- my attempt to make a strawberry sponge cake. Even though this was my first time baking a sponge cake after 10 year, I challenged myself and didn't try to minimize the damage; I stuck with double-layers cake. I think the most challenge part of baking a sponge cake is the timing. On the recipes, it said your cake should be form in 20 to 30 minute. So I checked mine after 20 minute, it's still soggy. I started worried my cake might not turn out alright. And after 5,10 minute, my cake finally form!! I let my cake sit for 50 minute before I started doing all the decorate. I put whipped cream and strawberry slices between the layers, then I decorate the top with a little rainbow icing and strawberries after fix the two layers together. Well, anyhow here's the finished products:

I was really proud of myself somhow I managed to produce a fairly delicious cake that was sofe and fairly gooey, with some nice icing to go with it.



I also made miso grilled salmon and beef eggplant lasagna while I was waiting for the cake. They all turned out fairly delicious :) Shared my cake and lasagna with friends and co-workers. They all enjoyed it throughly. :) I was happy!
