Step-by-Step Directions:
Prepare the Sponge Cake:
Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F).
In a large bowl, beat 6 eggs with 150 g sugar and a pinch of salt until pale and fluffy.
Gently fold in sifted flour and baking powder.
Melt the butter and heat the milk; slowly incorporate into the batter while mixing.
Bake the Sponge:
Line a 28×36 cm baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pour the batter in and level the surface.
Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and springy. Let cool completely.
Make the Strawberry Compote:
In a saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, vanilla sugar, and water. Simmer a few minutes.
Dissolve cornstarch in water and stir into the mixture.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 3 minutes). Cool completely.
Prepare the Cream Layer:
Beat cream cheese until smooth.
Fold in cooled, melted white chocolate until creamy and combined.
Assemble the Cake:
Spread the cooled compote over the sponge cake.
Add an even layer of cream cheese mixture.
Arrange halved strawberries cut side down on top.
Add the Jelly Topping:
Dissolve red jelly sachets in boiling water.
Let cool until slightly thickened but still pourable.
Gently pour over strawberries to cover them.
Chill the Cake:
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until jelly is fully set.
Slice and serve!
