Ingredients

Steps

Weigh all the ingredients, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, cocoa powder, cake flour and baking powder and mix them together
Beat egg yolks with sugar
Beat the egg yolks until they become thick and light in color
Add vegetable oil and mix well
Pour in the milk and stir evenly
Sift in flour mixture
Use a rubber spatula to stir into batter
Beat the egg whites, divide the sugar into three equal parts, add one third of the sugar when the fish eyes are thick, and continue to beat
When it is in a fine state, add one-third of the sugar and continue to beat
When lines appear, add the remaining sugar
Gently lift the egg beater. If an upright sharp corner appears, it means that the egg whites have been beaten
Pour one-third of the egg whites into the batter and mix evenly
Use a spatula to stir from bottom to top
After mixing, pour into the protein bowl and continue mixing
Pay attention to your technique when mixing the batter
Pour the batter into an 8-inch round mold
Shake it hard on the table a few times to knock out the air bubbles
Put it into the preheated oven, turn the heat up and down, 150 degrees, and bake for about forty minutes
After baking, take it out and let it cool on a drying net
After unmoulding, cut off the surface of the cake
Divide the cake into three equal parts
Wash and cut strawberries into pieces
Whip the light cream until texture appears
Lift the egg beater and the pattern will not collapse
Pour the buttercream into a piping bag
Take a piece of cake and draw a circle from outside to inside
Layer with strawberries
Repeat steps for the second layer
For the third layer of decoration, you can use other fruits or decorate flowers. I'm lazy, so I just put it up casually
