Classic sponge cake with strawberry jam and whipped cream
December 20, 2006
Filed under Idiot-proof cakes, The amateur baker
When the cake has cooled, spread the strawberry jam on top.
Whip the chilled cream until double in volume. The best way to do this is to place the bowl of cream in a bigger bowl half-filled with small pieces of ice. Cream doubles fast if the cold temperature is retained.
Place the whipped cream in a piping bag. Use whatever tip you fancy.
Pipe the cream on the cake.

hi connie! yey, now i’ve got another blog to visit every day =) i really love to bake (more than cook hehe) but hubby won’t survive if i serve him only cake for meals haha. so i go to pinoycook.net so that i can serve honest-to-goodness home-cooked meals =) mukhang madali lang itong sponge cake… will try this soon! about time i use the piping thingie i got for our wedding present hehe. thanks for putting this site up!
Hi Connie, making whipped cream has been my biggest frustration. In whipping, what instrument did you use?
Thanks
Gerry
Kudos to you and your girls, Connie! What a coincidence, too. I baked my first cornbread (with cranberries and golden raisins) just the other night. I will surely learn heaps from your baking 101 blog; sure am looking forward to your future entries! (Please bake my favourites–Brazo de Mercedes and Sans Rival, soon!)
you’re welcome, cynee. let’s enjoy baking together.
gerry, an electric mixer. highest speed. and the bowl of ice really helps a lot.
Marie, sans rival and brazo de mercedes are my hubby’s all-time favorites (chocolate mousse for my younger girl). Brazo looks easy (at least in theory) but sans rival looks complicated hehehehe
hi gerry, what i do is i whip the cream (chilled) in the early morning or at night, so that the room temp is little bit colder. also, i put the mixing bowl (stainless) in the ref or freezer before i use it. hope this helps a bit.
hello…this is my first time…your website is nice,ang dami ko na nagawa na recipes…but aside from this i also love baking.. chavan i have a recipe of eggpie, chiffon cake, and brazo de mercedez…i hope you can help me from this…
hi ate connie. can i use mango jam or orange jam instead of strawberry? i only have those two…thanks
armi, yes, try any jam.
Hi Connie,
I love your website, have tried to make the baked mac and mango royale, and my family and friends loved them! And they wouldn’t believe I made them, they were that good! Btw, I’m thinking of making some cupcakes with really nice butter icing. Do you have any good Filipino style recipe for butter icing please? Thanks!
Hi connie,
i always pop into your website but i get busy from work and my son,hes getting 3 yrs old this march i want to make him a bday cake. I wonder if you could send me recipes to make a basic cake that i could frost or ice. thanks in advance.
